This one comes from the noticing of moss and lichen on the trees yesterday. There's a long deep love of moss here. There is a beautiful reserve nearby, the moss garden is my favorite place there.
And there's Rosemary Well's Moss Pillows. It's part of the sweetest little set of books, Voyage to the Bunny Planet, where young bunnies experience terrible days, and then discover . . . "Far beyond the moon and stars, twenty light-years south of Mars, spins the gentle Bunny Planet, and the Bunny Queen is Janet." Queen Janet takes them to "the day that should have been." I read them all of the time, back when I was teaching little ones, even made myself a Bunny Planet dress.
So, I will keep going on this one, while thinking on lovely cool green peaceful soft comfy days.
And this morning, at 4:30 am, Blue leaving for the airport, back to college. Without my glasses on, I snapped this photo of him loading his luggage in the trunk. Looking at it in the light of day now, with him somewhere up in the sky. He's barely a ghost here, how strange. All of the beautiful greens, and him just a blur of memory.
