Love

Love is ...

- the natural world.

Love is...

- daisy days.

Love is ...

- all creatures great and small.

Love is...

- work.

Love is ...

- color.

Love is ...

- breaking bread with others.

Love is ...

- cooking for loved ones.

Love is ...

- them.

- and them.

And you. And me. And us.


"We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger.
We rise and fall and light from dying embers.
Remembrances that hope and love last longer.
And love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside.
I say that as symphony. Eliza tells her story. Now fill the world with music, love, and pride."
- excerpt from Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony acceptance speech

Life

Harbors - they are magnets to me. Safe harbors...gentle harbors... good harbors. Sometimes life is a succession of harbors.

Plymouth harbor and beach roses in Massachusetts. 

Shrub roses in Bar Harbor.

Beach Roses in Maine.

Life is sweet - tiny wild Maine berries that stops your heart and restarts it at a gentler pace.

Life is delicious. Food from the sea. Appreciation.

Sometimes you need the light to bring you to safety. Sometimes you are the light.

And life is unpredictable. I am taking a blogging break - some time in harbors for thought. Know that I have smiles and appreciation for all of you, for all those near and for harbors and roses and delicious.
