« friday..... | Main | oh my god..... » September 02, 2006 changing....
i usually hold onto these last summer days with two hands clutching. the oak tree which covers my house drops these acorns with and gosh, how i want the change. last year at this time i was in key west. it was the beginning of a most unusual year of unknowing and heartache. i never thought i would make it through that time. but i did, and here i am. a little flat, a little tired, and still a little unsure. ill be leaving this old house soon. it was a good place to land after the hurricane. but its now time to go. to re-enter the world of the living. “And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.” ........................................................ I have fallen in love with your blog... and the quote you posted today was something I needed to read. Thank you. Posted by: kerry at September 3, 2006 10:49 AM........................................................ OH. how I would love (will love) to honour & watch with ease my INternal seasons shifting as I do the EXternal ones! ........................................................ Last night "under the tuscan sun" was on tv.. Like the beautiful analogy of the train tracks being built across the alps, even before there was a train.. because they just knew, that one day there would be, and it would need a track..

A very close friend of mine gave me a pretty glass box when my mom passed away with four acorns in it that she had sculpted out of clay. She said that her father used to say that a fallen acorn was a sign of change, but that although the acorn had been seperated from the tree, that it would go on to grow into a strong oak tree itself. That same friend of mine was killed in a car accident this past week. After the service that was held for her, I went to a river near my house and sat on a rock. While I was there, an acorn dropped in front of my feet and reminded me of what she'd said. Your picture and words reminded me again. Thank you.

Posted by: Leonie at September 3, 2006 10:48 PM........................................................ Sometimes I feel like I've lived, at least, two lives. One life is still carefully and slowly recovering from the most painful times and anther seems to have no memory of them.

Posted by: Dreamer at September 4, 2006 10:59 AM........................................................ much love sweet friend ~ much love ........................................................ Leave it to wonderful you to notice the acorns and embrace them. I love autumn. I view it as a time to nurture myself and get ready to cocoon for awhile away from the big, wide world.
