ljidol series 8; Week 27. 'Once upon a time'

May 13, 2012 11:47

Once upon a time I was a small girl, living through air raids ‘There is a war on,' was the excuse. I don’t remember it all, but seared into my head behind my eyes, with flames and fire I see a crashing plane. I was three, and standing on the back path. My parents urging me to the shelter. “ Quickly, come on, Daddy will carry you ( Read more... )

I think so, well done.

I'm glad your memories are so rich. I do think that we often cannot truly treasure what is past until it is over.

I hope you always keep writing. I'd love to see your paintings. Do you ever post photos of them?

I know what you mean about never time to think and reflect. Sometimes...I actually miss that. It's summer now. I'm between semesters and sometimes too much reflecting isn't really good for me.

Thank you for sharing all these warm glimpses of your life and memories!

Yes, not time for reflection sometimes, with so much going on, it all blurrs into one.

Yes will post some photos of paintings. Will do a public post soon.

I'd be very interested in seeing photos of your paintings as well!

I love your reflections, there are quite a few, you know, that blend into my own. Brings a few tears, specially the NZ bit. Beautifully written my friend ..:)

This was beautiful. I enjoyed 'your once upon a time' immensely and the best part is that you are still surviving... and thriving from what I can tell. Way to go! Terrific imagery in your descriptions, too.

Thank my friend, hope youn are enjoying spring in your part of the world..
Yes surviving is it some days, one day I will have a massive book to write about one of my 'prodigals !!!

Yet I was unaware of my power, had no idea of the unharnessed roar of it. Too late I know what I had, and lament its passing.

Oh, how well I know this feeling, even though there is a lot of my life (hopefully) still ahead of me.

This was a beautiful post.

Glad you know the feeling, we often don't get just what awesome power there is, so feel and live each moment.
