little bulbs begin curled small . . . sink their roots amid pebbles . water and sunlight
on the hearth .. on the piano . glass and stone keeping company with photos of daughters
who bloom . reach . lean . curve . teach me to grow . like paper whites

So tender and sweet ... So much beauty here
The growing and the stretching portrayed beautifully.
And each is sweet.

Happy New Year Elk, hope it's a happy and healthy one for both you and your daughters
I been following your blog(s) a couple of years and now look forward to the arrival of the paperwhites at your place.
Loving this sweet song today, Elk... *sigh*... :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
So pretty...
oh, this beautiful beautiful space! i've missed being here! the last 1/4 year has been crazy paced and it was all i could do to post, much less visit... but i've missed my time here... it always evokes such peace. i've parused the last few posts... wishing you a belated happy holiday... hoping it was wonderful and filled with joy.
looking forward to a new year of visual and written gifts here.
