Patience peels the layers,
gets past the rind
to the heart of the matter,
persistence sees beyond
the fluff and seeks
substance, but
Love – love makes
her soul bloom.

Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Would that I could bloom as beautifully as the peony?
I think you already are… 🙂
🙂
Really beautiful, Melody! 🙂
Thank you! How are you feeling these days?
Oh, I’m crazy for this one, Mel–wonderful, and so true!
Thank you! I’m enjoying the rewards of all of the work I’ve put into my yard – glorious. Many more photos to come!
Yippeee–I was thinking about you last night (well, more like 3am), wondering where you’d gotten to of late. Though I think time just blurs for me, so maybe I think you haven’t been around for awhile–but it’s just been day before yest’day! Anyway, you’re always in my heart, and prayers.
Aw, thanks. I need that. Summer can be so disconnected, you know? I have been busy busy in my garden, getting it ready for my on-site magazine tour (local gardening mag) and having so much fun! My muscles and joints wouldn’t agree, I don’t suppose….Ouch!)
Congrats on the mag tour, Mel! Gosh, you’re famous all over the place!
Aren’t I? 🙂 Admission charges to follow…
I’ll bet I get a special invite deal….
Absolutely. Half off on Tuesdays. Plus 2 for 1 on weekends.
Oh good, I’ll bring Deb!
How wonderful! What a confab we’ll have one of these days. 🙂
Camp Caddo dorm will be packed, and hoppin’ day ‘n night!!
I’ll bring the chocolate! 🙂
Sounds like a plan!
It sounds like you are in full bloom, Melody! 🙂
🙂 Thanks Eric! Lots to be thankful for…
Beautiful!
Thanks Rosy! Hope you’re enjoying your summer so far…
Loved this you just described my relationship with my husband!
Wonderful! I’m always glad to hear about good relationships out there – there are so many rotten ones…
hopefully I’ll peel back as gracefully as your inspirational poem~worthy of my God. Blessings sweet Melody ~Debbie
Aw, thanks, friend. I so appreciate your visits!
Love the thought Love makes our soul bloom!
Thanks Glenda.
Melody, I have been so busy that time escapes me from reading my favorite bloggers. Wow. Just catching up this morning with a cup of coffee is heavenly. You inspire and enlighten my day. Thank you!
Aw, thanks Millie. I haven’t been doing nearly the reading I usually do, either – summer is like that. I’ve spent countless hours out and about in my garden and snapping photos for the days and weeks ahead and haven’t been inside much. I’m glad I was a part of your morning! 🙂
😄
It is because love transforms everything and everyone.
I agree! Love has an incredible impact on us all. Thanks, Sissy!
