What do you see?

Boy was I ever humbled by the birthday love received from y'all

Thank you so very much

I want to share something

(excuse the poor phone camera quality through dirty windshield heehee)

What do you see?

A road? Powerlines? Corn?

Dirty windshield? Ticks? Nothing?

Here's what I see

A reminder from Nature

 Elena,

No matter if it feels you are heading nowhere

that you've fallen flat and the world is passing you by

it's just an illusion; something the ego likes to manipulate with

you continue moving down your path

learning, growing, cultivating, sowing

you reach a time of harvest

it does not signify the end but rather a time to amass the fruits of labor

followed by rest, new preparations

tilling, planting, harvesting

learning, growing

cycles of life

always with new results; each yielding just a bit more of something

each one fertilizing the base for what's to come

~

And that's what I see when I'm driving
And notice the combines begin to gather near the fields
Smell the warm muskiness of the earth that says it's ready
And notice that I've been cleaning, sorting, filing the mess in the studio
Not quite ignoring the feelings of anticipation that something is coming

Dramatic, no?
I tried to warn you yesterday

hee hee

(By the way, I had to laugh when my hubby brought in my cake apologizing for not finding the candles. He had one in the shape of a 3.  I thought it quite appropriate)
