I'm trying to move my body more by doing
things outside. I was raking and bagging all the browns from Autumn and
Winter to make room for the greens of Spring and Summer. I saw this
beautiful Mourning Dove on the leaves, obviously not dead for
long. I cradled her and admired her beauty and then set her down in
front of the cherub statue who is already caring for a bird.
I made a card with the photo and used this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"It's not the length of life, but the depth of life."

Yes indeed.

lo♥
Your beautiful act of mercy and kindness adds so much to Emerson's words.... a heartfelt act, dear BS....one of the gazillion reasons why I love you! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh lo. Beautiful and unsettling both, I imagine, to come across this mourning dove, its colors so vibrant. What a picture you've created: to me it is eerily haunting and reverent at the same time
ReplyDeleteI looked up the totem. Okay, fine, I said. Now give lo some peace!!
I wish you were here. At the moment it is 3:36 am and mr chase who needs to pee will not exit the front door or the back door is statuesque in his resolve.
No pee in peetown. It's just not right
Love love
