First, yes you should write more often and this post was absolutely outstanding! You and I share a love of Alexandra Stoddard and she also writes at length about the importance of "filling one's well." How true and so important. Truly, I do believe it is key to a long and well lived life. As for poetry, I have always enjoyed reading beautiful words from marvelously talented people. especially when it makes me put down the book and think about what I just read and then read it again. Your blog is the same, I enjoy every reading. Do write more - you are such fabulous inspiration! Your voice is so needed in our world!

I've savored each line, in fact, I feel very much kindred spirits from reading this and that is such a delight. I sometimes astound myself at how little it takes in my daily life to bring me joy and I sense that about you too. I think it might have been Gladys Taber who wrote about life being like a plum pudding so full of delicious riches and I recognize that too. <br /><br />I don't know how a Ray Bradbury fan like myself has missed reading his Zen in the Art of Writing but I've made a note of it now. His Dandelion Wine never fails to excite me about life. <br /><br />Your photography and that of others you've featured here today are a lovely pairing with your words and quotes. Happy summer reading!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-2950594943336419452018-07-20T18:41:38.751-06:002018-07-20T18:41:38.751-06:00As I've already said on Facebook,these simple ...As I've already said on Facebook,these simple flowers are delightful.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-45426319877924203492018-07-20T16:05:01.735-06:002018-07-20T16:05:01.735-06:00You share such lovely quotes, photos and thoughts....You share such lovely quotes, photos and thoughts. thank-you for sharing some well-replenishment!Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.com
