Without, Within

Without, white-out, a wicked whirling dervish; within, a grin, a peaceful end to skirmish. * “My peace I give to you…”

Without, white-out,

a wicked whirling dervish;

within, a grin,

a peaceful end to skirmish.

*

“My peace I give to you…”

    A wonderful whirling dervish of a photo.

    1. melodylowes

      Amen and Amen!

    Oh I DO LOVE this one, Melody!!

    1. melodylowes

      Thanks Caddo! You can perhaps relate?? 🙂

      1. Caddo Veil

        YES, hence the capital letters, dear heart! I’m glad to see you, as I’d just begun to think about fretting…

        I was at a conference and pre-posted for a few days, but forgot my power cord for my laptop ARGGHHH!) so had no real recourse. An imposed blog fast, it was – and not a bad break, either. But I’m back today! 🙂

      3. Caddo Veil

        Good! Although a blog fast sounds really healthy, and even spiritual–wish I’d thought of that when my online church did their annual first of the year fast…next year!

      4. melodylowes

        I missed it! But I have to remember that if I don’t write for a few days the world won’t fall apart without me…

      5. Caddo Veil

        No–but someone of us Will start to fret, and that’s not a bad thing a’tall.

      6. melodylowes

        It actually makes me feel very good, like I have a safety net, Caddo-shaped.

      7. Caddo Veil

        Ohhhh, I’m almost misty-eyed, feeling somewhat important.

      8. melodylowes

        😀 Mist away! I missed you in my time away, and wondered how you were as I eyed my laptop sitting in the corner.

      9. Caddo Veil

        Oh, I’m good–happily avoiding housework as I start my new “wacky holidays” project!

    Wonderful, Melody! I could feel this one . .God bless you!

    1. melodylowes

      Thank you Debbie! I wish I could say I were this picture more often – but I guess practice and mindfulness is a baby step toward that end goal…

  5. I HAVE A VOICE

    Too perfect to lightly comment on~ Thank you Melody.

    1. melodylowes

      Wow – thanks! 🙂 I think you just made my day…

  6. Ben Nelson

    Wonderful – safe and warm in the Ark!

    1. melodylowes

      Right – great analogy, Ben! Thank you!
