Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
hopes and dreams
the warmth in your voice
travels with us
where the river meets the sea
older seals are barking

Wishing you all a happy Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,

happiness
the seamless flow
in letting go
when frost that starts at night
melts when the sun rises

passing clouds
our hearts still walk
on the sunny side
collecting light and sharing it
wherever it is needed

the sand in the dunes
deep and soft
where pilgrims made pledges
white campion blooms

Tanka Thursday: Soft
Word of the Day Challene: Wondrous
Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in August (Flexuous, Astonishing)
a storm is silently approaching
where the crows whirl in the sky
an old man smiles behind his gate,
points across the bay and says
~ it is all about the light ~
and we love to run towards it
even on the darkest, wettest days
there are cracks in passing clouds
where smaller rays can shine
