peaceful spring

Day by day, day by day, and day by day,

quietly in the company of children I live.

In my sleeves, tiny embroidered balls, two or three.

Useless, intoxicated, in this peaceful spring.

weekly photo challenge: the hue of you

if some great idea takes hold of us from outside, we must understand that it takes hold of us only because something in us responds to it, and goes out to meet it. ~C. G. Jung
