Staring into space
beyond the blue
wondering if
you are too.

On some level, we all share the same skies, same full moons, same blue scapes.  

Love your thoughts here’s Lady Owl.

I've caught myself staring of late...
the act alone catches you up,
makes you wonder.

You said volumes in a few short words, Diana. I find myself taking time to smell the flowers, and muse on life as I age.

Thank you, John, for your kind words.  It's good to smell the flowers and muse, at any time, but especially as one ages.

I remember when you first shared this.  I continue to see a dandelion covered hill, my baseball cap on backwards, and full amazement at how high and vast is the sky. what a sweet little gem.

Wow, TD, I am honoured that you remember it.  I didn't mean to repeat-post.  When I did a search to see if I had or not, I must have forgotten to click on Archives.  Thank you for your delightful reply.  I am glad you experienced it so deeply!  

PLEASE COULD A MODERATOR DELETE THIS DUPLICATE POST?  THANK YOU, IN ANTICIPATION.

Am struggling to post this reply.  Both my internet connections are wonky at the moment!  Will try again!
