pansy

i love that several pansies in my front garden don't know that they are annuals and aren't supposed to return the following spring. oh and they also disregarded the fact that last night there was a "killer frost" ...
thankyou very much for being entirely you my sweet little innocents!

blossoms . . .

when lovers moan,
they're telling our story.
like this.

blossoms

standing under blossoming trees at the end of this day,
their petals literally falling on and all around me . . .

in my head and heart, a beautiful word . . . radiance . . .

mother's day . . .



"a mother's love liberates".
maya angelou


on this - mother's day in north america -
i honour my mother
...
no more than i usually do mind you

because i have a deep respect for her


she was 
-and is- 
loving 
without condition

she has supported me through the course of my life 
through all manner
of life experiences
as one after another
changes have arrived
 unbidden 
unforeseen
even unwelcome

for this alone i could be grateful

it's very cool
to be in a place
of genuine mutual appreciation
and mutual admiration.






happy mother's day mum!

with love from steven

trust ...

"if you trust in nature, in the small things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge, immeasurable; if you have this love for what is humble and try very simply, as someone who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor: then everything will become easier for you, more coherent and somehow more reconciling, not in your conscious mind perhaps, which stays behind, astonished, but in your innermost awareness, awakeness, and knowledge."   rainer maria rilke
