Effervescent purity
Speaking to us with silence
The secret of us all.
Beauty and joy in bright white glow

Bringing to you the undiscovered
A welcoming space for resistance to the forces of oppression and hegemony.
Photos, art, and a little bit of LIT.
as opposed to a “not thinking chitalia”
Art, health, civilizations, photography, nature, books, recipes, etc.
Taking the journey, bumps and all
Recognizing & appreciating our oneness with Nature
Never Grow Old
The World According to Siri and Selma
what you see, it's up on you!
Words are art on paper, and for me they are the seeds of my soul.

Balroop, thank you for your beautiful words. You are right to say we
hear the language of nature. Be grateful I stopped as there would have been
another flower and verse … and then another. It was a dreamy morning.

Your fragrant blossom reminds me of our rose hips (Hagebutte)bushes/trees. Lovely words to match. Enjoy your Sunday and week ahead.

Part of the beauty of flowers is their quiet. But are they? Or do we just not hear them?

Jaqui, I have read that bees and butterflies can hear the song from the flower. That is how they know how to get nectar. Our ears are just not that finely tuned. 🦋 .
Thanks for your lovely comment.
