Slowly stitching in my island of calm
Weeping for injustices around the world
Praying that solutions will be found
Hoping that governments will prove themselves worthy
It is surely a time when drastic systemic change is needed
It is a time to invest in change
It is a time to invest in people
And talking of change
Our garden Robin decided to place her nest atop our garden hose
and we are very grateful to her for that
because they usually nest high above in spruce trees
but this year for a change we can get to watch her.
Eggs of new beginnings
Eggs full of potential for the future
It is hard not to have a heavy heart but
Perhaps she placed her eggs in sight to remind me
it is possible to make a brighter world
and we are living through the time of change.
I hope you find some jewels in your day
Oh, my dear, I am so with you on this. So glad the robin has given you some delight!
ReplyDeletethis is such a beautiful reflection of these strange days and your robin has gifted you with placing her nest where you can see her eggs and soon to be babies!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to have that Robin, what a wonderful colour they are. Feeling upset at what is going on in our world. Here in Australia unfortunately theserotesters don't know, have not been taught history.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and words, dear Penny. Really moving xoxo
ReplyDeletePenny you are so talented and a planner extraordinaire! Knowing/seeing where to lay the stitch takes YEARS of focused study and you have mastered the colour, line and design play beautifully! Be well and enjoy the blue!
ReplyDeleteWhat you said...❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteThe blue of sky stitches and eggs - lovely. The robins who nested in our birch are ahead of yours. We watched the fledglings leave yesterday. A gift for sure.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have the robin's nest - and such blue eggs. Some drastic change needs to happen - and soon! xx
ReplyDeleteLooking for jewels in your day - wise words. The entire world should pay heed to those words. Glad to see the tiny little bit of blue in your latest work and those robin eggs - such an incredible colour!
ReplyDeleteJust what is needed these days. The eggs are gorgeous.
