The wish to be 'held' in a time of loss is such a strong one--and often we do not find that holding from the people around us. Your work and words provide that container so many of us need. I love the way in which you speak about the small brain of birds in relationship to the beauty of their nests!

As the short...Like a smile, which someone described<br />As the shortest distance between two people.<br />.<br />your post gave me a smile and touched my heart--the words, harmony of your work, the colors seem esp. muted, quiet, evocative of rusts in the Histories esp touches a chord.<br /><br />Watched a small cardinal press her breast into the making of a small almost funnel nest outside a glass door this spring. She seemed to shape it enough for her body expanded by her heart and breath. We do the same with the love around us, and it stretches out, crosses the boundary of time and space. I still see (from your phrase above) the smile of my brother who left a year and half back, and its as if he is here and his small boyish hand could reach across the space of a breath and pass me again a small feathered nest found by him in the woodlands where we played. Renewal, yes, its like another, personal Spring with rhythms of its own soul in each thing.<br /><br />Thank you.mansuetudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03805383049085040581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-29863275850937382942011-06-08T14:43:13.179-07:002011-06-08T14:43:13.179-07:00ah yes...

Just love the sentiment that a smile is the shortest distance between two people. I'm going to try to remember that always! Beautiful work-the colors, the feel and the understanding and coming to terms of life's cycle.
