Peau

                     

Skin (peau,) that protective layer around your heart and soul, that when touched unites the three.

Velvet. Stone. Sugar spilled on the floor stepped on underfoot. Wind blowing in your hair. Mist. Honey being poured. Hailstorm. The ropes of a swing. Someone tugging at your sleeve. Hands of time in every season touch you, leaving a message…

more than skin deep.

What lights your fire?

Where will you leave your touch today?

photo: My family…My father, mother, and nieces hands, holding each other. Sharing tenderness.

  1. Held hands with a wise old woman of 85. Found she was cold , so we went for a walk in the sunshine. She cracked me up by telling me about the love lives of her neighbours…….ending our talk with ” Whatever floats your boar m’dear”.

  2. Oops! That should have been “boaT”!

  3. Beautiful picture the hands of all generations. To touch someone’s life is a hope that I aspire to be in living everyday.

  4. I love that photograph darling one……….
    I try and spread sugar and sweetness wherever I go.
    Life is fast and fleeting there is never enough time to spread love and joy to everyone you come into contact with.
    Blessings!
    Love you
