I Wonder

The pattern
of seashells

The silence
of deer

The feelings
of trees

The scent
of cinnamon

The color
of your eyes.

Good morning, Jerry!

When I wrote this, I felt it was someone imagining meeting a new lover - but it also reminded me of many of my thoughts when I was expecting the birth of my children. Much to ponder in life!
Thank you!

Hello, Teddy

(Thought I responded earlier today. Not certain where my first attempt may have found itself. ???)
I share your hope that masks and social distancing will fade away - sooner than later, but safely for sure. Thank you for reading! I am always grateful when you stop by.
