According to Buddha
Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.
so if they call you
embrace them
if they hold you
erase them
’cause it might’ve been something, who’s to say?
does it help to get lost in yesterday?

yesterday just after dark ~ Etown ~ August 2020
These are so cool, Hedy and with the lighting, they are so mysterious. I hope your having a bit of fun this week.
it was dark when I arrived…and cool/fresh too…got the old mutt some river time before our “heat warning” day☀️and there was no humans I also love that 🙃🙂 I’m painting our front door…it’s fun. hope you are as well Chris ☺️🤗
beautiful imagery to go with words we all need to heal…
yes scot 🤓 I feel when we open our hearts we heal…that’s difficult at times. it was a beautiful morning…quiet and soft and dreamy. Have a lovely creative day ~ smiles hedy ☺️🤓
Love these images Hedy, especially the echinacea and cobweb silhouette 🕸
Humble thank you Val…I didn’t know that was echinacea…🤓…thanks for saying and I appreciate your comments ~ have a peaceful day ☮️🕉💟 hedy
This is the most wonderful light at the end of the day. While most people are dropping their jaws at the sunset, some turn around and look the other way.
it’s right after dark…sunrise…I’m an early bird Michael…I miss many sunsets 🤓😉I love the colours this week…so many reds, pinks and oranges…have a creative day ~ smiles hedy ☺️🤗🙃🙂
They are beautiful. I’m a night owl. But the light is similar on both ends of the day. Looking forward to seeing more of your art.
☺️🙏
Imagery and words help us attempt the need to understanding
the importance for compassion.
‘Anger is the main obstacle that causes deterioration to compassion and the awakening mind.’…we live in strange times…I need a plan…words and imagery do help me make more sense for me…I know you know this…I also found this piece I’m sharing…🤓☺️

Wonderful photos.
Humble thank you Timothy ☺️🤓 have a creative day ~ smiles hedy 💫
The spider web was so clear. The photos are lovely, so are your quotes and poem, Hedy.
yes the little droplets…it was pretty to me Miriam 🤓☺️ thank you kindly for your kind comments I appreciate them ~ smiles from rainy Alberta…hoping your doing well…such scary news from California 😱😳…🤓…be safe…sending you joy ~ hedy 🤗
Yes, all the wildfires. It’s just the beginning. With 103F and higher, any sparks cause fire. I think the Bay area fire was caused by the thunder storm. One year, after the wildfires, we had rainstorm and caused flooding.
Yes, we have our share of the nature when some states have hurricanes and heavy snow.
I’m here in Oregon visiting my daughter and granddaughters. It feels unreal after waiting for six months and I’m here, holding the five months old for the first time. My almost three years old (3 next month) played with me for hours. It was so wonderful. 🙂 🙂
Enjoy your star seeds…babies 👶 are the best…I also enjoy playing with our grandson 🧒…it’s fun and funny…I also miss mine ~ enjoy Miriam ~ smiles and joy your way hedy ☺️💫
It’s something about babies and little kids. They’re so real, so happy, so loving. I get a lot of energy just being around them. 😊 I’m going home tomorrow. Will come back for Autumn’s birthday next month. 🎂🤗
I’m going at the end of September to give ours a squeeze 🤗❣️
That’s wonderful for you, Hedy. September is close enough. Are they far away? 💖😊
yes 13 hour drive…butt close in a way…normally I would fly once a month but haven’t hopped on a plane yet 🤔🤓…grateful for a vehicle and time to travel…before the winter…then the roads aren’t much fun…sending you joy Miriam ☺️💫
It would be 15 hour drive for me. I drove from Seattle to Los Angeles by myself after finished school 40 years ago. I stopped by San Francisco for a night, haven’t done since then.
Driving is safer as far as pandemic. Wishing you a good trip coming up. 🙂 🙂
well once the snow flies it may be difficult to not fly…at some point it will happen…I know you did 🤓 I love flying….smiles hedy
Love the mood in this set. See you!
I feel I know the park so well Harrie so nature provides me a great place to be…I am very fond early morning walks here…sending joy hedy ☺️💫
Very cool and love the spider web pic

Humble thank you Dina 🙏I appreciate your comments and encouragement 🤓☺️ have a joyful and creative day ~ smiles hedy ☺️💫
You have created another beautiful mood here Hedy, full of atmosphere. I love the variety of subjects seen in that somber light.
… public art…in strange locations…they do look cool with the right lighting or with inclement weather…mostly the mutt got in her river time ☺️🙃🙂☀️ hugs Lynn hoping you’re doing well ❣️🤗
Good for her…is the spider web public art too? I guess so! 😉

yes we’re all fine…I’m grateful for where I am…Ive been in the garden and outside as much as possible…hugs over the pond ~ hedy ☺️🤗☀️❣️
A well grasped special hour. We call it French “entre chien et loup”, between dog and wolf. When the little remaining light doesn’t let you know whether you see a dog or a wolf… 🙏🏻
right…🤓or who knows…stay safe Brian ☺️🤗❣️
