you are radiance
i see you.
you: light, radiance, a bright spark.
you are trying to hide yourself under a dull grey cloak.
you don’t fool me.
you don’t fool any of us.
did you know that your cloak doesn’t quite fit?
did you know that it has holes in it?
did you know that it is so old and worn that you can see right through it?
when you move, when you breathe,
the light dances through the holes and around the cracks and edges;
it sways back and forth with your breath;
it showers sweet blessings on everyone and everything in its path.
you are radiant,
like the sun after the rain,
like a golden yolk nestled in the white,
like the first bud in spring.
you can deny it, you can hide it, you can run from it,
but you cannot escape the truth of it.
we see you.
we see your light.
beautiful!
Yes, we see YOUR light.
How’s Atlas doing?
Thanks for asking! He’s doing good. He makes a terrible invalid in that he does not know how to slow down, but he is definitely calmer and more peaceful and adjusting to his splint. He is getting LOTS of massages and we are playing brain games and I bought him a new toy and I just thought of some people who love him that I can invite over to visit him. It feels like a new normal. I’ll write an update post tomorrow or Wednesday.
Beautiful.
beautiful, the picture and the words:) I love the gray as the background.
As are you…. radiance reflects.
So beautiful, Elizabeth. I’m going to bookmark this page so I can read it when I think my life doesn’t matter. Which is more often than I’d like to admit.
Your art is a rare gift. Thank you for sharing it.
Just so you know, your life matters to me. xo
