Seeds Planted

                           

Words surrounded her, as did the star, small chips of diamonds flickers of light, les mots tendre, je suis la…

Flowers grew from the seeds, 'famille, maison, tache de chocolat…' attached to a golden thread that she wore close to her heart.

Far from home, far from home…far from home, she knew where she came from, the flowers and flickers reminded her.

Home is in your heart, what do you plant there? With what words do you water your seeds?

Wherever you are… plant the seeds that will give you the joy to bloom, life is too short to grow weeds.

    When I moved to New Hampshire, my first instinct was to create a place where I could rest my roots and plant seeds to create a place where my flowers could grow….
    And boy are they growing!!

  3. This object is so pretty! Is it your mom’s? Makes me wonder, was she a real lady? She was sure lovely, huh?

    “Home is in your heart, what do you plant there? ”
    Every day I remind myself to be healthy, be productive and be kind. So that’s what I plant there.
    As for how I water these ideas, I don’t really know that I do. Probably should. I’ll work on that.

    “wherever you are, know that you are loved” there are no more beautiful words than these. i love your alternate text for the photo. love having met and shared a few sparkely hours with an incredibly special kindred spirit. hope you’re having as fabulous a time as it seems in your posts.

    Lately I’ve been planting seeds of patience and faith. They are always there but lately, I’ve needed to revitalize this section of my inner garden. My water? Prayer. Every thought is a prayer.
