Happy Kindness Day!
Looking back at posts I had started, but never finished, this song had been bookmarked. It is rather sad, but beautiful to me. It speaks of starry, starry nights, how people didn't listen until it was too late. I am planning to focus on those stars with more to come on that next month. I hope you will continue to follow along with me as I look to the stars, as I speak my truth, and as I continue to travel with kindness and joy.
I noticed the moon shining through the clouds as they rushed by during last night, as I woke up to enjoy a couple hours where I couldn't sleep. There were no stars, but I could see that moon, the clouds, the rain, and the shadows in my yard. I could imagine the beauty of the sky and grounds as the sun rose to see another day.
My tea plant (camellia sinensus) is blooming, hope for new growth.
The leaves are puddling on the greenhouse roof. I think they are beautiful.
And if I look closely, I find new blooms still shining on a dark day.
I pray people wake up and listen to each other, love each other, and show kindness in little and big ways. I need to believe it isn't too late to listen and embrace each other. Notice those starry, starry nights and wait for the dawning day light hours. Be awake, alert, and notice what you notice. Be Kind!
Sending love,
Marilyn

I like that photo of the leaves on the greenhouse. Every time I hear that song I think of a funeral of a friend of Greg's, a young man still in his early 20s when he shot himself in the schoolyard where they all went to elementary school. Ben was an artist and they played this at the funeral. Heartbreaking. Greg hasn't been the same since.
Such a lovely post Marilyn. Vincent was an amazing artist and this song says it all. Excited to hear your news soon!
