And then there is the day when the dry and the dying are present to you despite the blue sky, the beauty and the soothing sounds of water and birds.
A day when you recall that the path ahead is often hard, bleached of colour and curves away unseen.
When the rocks in life appear large in a depleted pool
and when a foundation rock of your own life has gone into another form.

At times when we are grieving it is good to sit in nature, and remember that all is cyclical.
It was the anniversary of a death of a close family member in a car accident some years ago now but the environment seemed to fit my reflections.
My blessings to you.
Thank you:-)
It looks a good place in which to reflect on such an event: calming, and soothing, and comforting.
It is always good to sit near the water.
Beautiful post Lynley, with eloquent words and images.
Thanks Juliet. It was interesting just how the environment mirrored my reflections.
Lovely pictures and words
Thank you.
The rocks in life…a perfect description for the low times, the slow and sad times, when the best we can do is sit and wait.
Well done.
Thanks. That low water level pool with the large rocks in it at low tide was very evocative.
Yes indeed it is a very beautiful post. Loved to read it!
Thank you Diana. I am glad you enjoyed the post.
