Turkey Feathers, Artichokes and Sweet Grass
A gathering I went in November…dried artichokes were cut and
treasured.
Familiar ornaments were unwrapped with care.
Sweet grass and dried found leaves are a studio supply on hand.
And my true love gave to me
all the turkey feathers he found
as he walked along the road.
Christmas
~Anon
Every time a hand reaches out
To help another....that is Christmas
To help another....that is Christmas
Every time someone puts anger aside
And strives for understanding
That is Christmas
Every time people forget their differences
And realize their love for each other
That is Christmas
And realize their love for each other
That is Christmas
May this Christmas bring us
Closer to the spirit of human understanding
Closer to the spirit of human understanding
Closer to the blessing of peace!
I'm eyeing out that spectacular zebra and rider.... not to mention all the natural gatherings. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your true love, Leslie.

ReplyDeleteLovely, Leslie. Turkey feathers! Is this flock a cousin to the turkeys in La Connor? Nah, couldn't be, but I betcha they're beautiful, too. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIt's also Christmas when beauty visits us, either out of our own hand or through photographs as lovely as these. A very happy and beauty-full new year to you, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI am a little late leaving a comment for Christmas... you are so good at looking for and incorporating naturals into everything you do.
