I guess at the end of the day Ants stay as ants, Bees are bees And it’s only Caterpillars That get to transform Into butterflies. It’s just, I’m still not sure What I am. #poetry #transforming

Life sends its smallest messengers when we need a little magic the most… #TinyMessenger #photography #ArtInNature #Nature
A tiny messenger arrives at the perfect moment, like a whisper of magic from another world.

Ladies …. If you moved to a new place and didn’t know anyone … what would you look for on the OBGYN’s website or social media to make you want to go to them???

Tiredness, It plays tricks Hollows you out Leaving you feeling Everything and nothing All at once Empty With a racing mind No yesterday Can fill you Tomorrow Seems a lifetime away Right now is all you have A heavy hole Of darkness Waiting For your eyes To just Close #poetry

She woke to a painting Of blues and whites and greens It played with each color Even those in between She thanked God for the beauty Time to sit and let her see The majesty of each day And the breath that lets her be #poetry #photography #ArtInNature #blessed #SundaySerenity

✨️⚕️🌸🫐🌸⚕️✨️ crush of black and blueberries the bruises we heal #BlueSkyArtShow #Horizontal #EastCoastKin #Cassiopeian Heal #SenryuSaturday #senryu #haiku #poetry #micropoetry #photography #macro #BloomScrolling #ImageAndVerse
This is a macro nature photo I took of blueberries blooming. A green stem angles in from the upper-right corner and places the blossoms at the mid-left side. There's a cluster of five pink buds in the center and three white bell-shaped blooms surrounding them. In the blue-green background, the bokeh holds another cluster of bright pink buds to the upper-left.

Winter heals many wounds. Some of us think of hibernation as a hindrance, a stifling of progress, or a forced rest. But what happens when we take the time our bodies need to recover? We heal. For those of us with chronic illness, which is not an injury but a state we navigate daily, healing becomes a circle, not a line with a beginning and an end. We all carry these bruises, whether visible or internal, and it's important to acknowledge that we're each doing our best. I wish you all deep healing and comfort. This thought inspired my latest senryu:

crush of black
and blueberries
the bruises we heal
