today
even when there is the deepest of colors
it's the black and white that draws me in
~~
even when there is a compassionate light
it's the darkness that make me feel safe
~~
even when there is a reachable depth
it's the shallowest of surfaces I cling to
~~
even when there is a blinding sun
it's the grey of the clouds that keep me warm
even when there's beautiful music
it's the silence that makes my heart beat
~~
and
tomorrow
even when there's the feeling of an overwhelming life ahead of me
it's the
"being alive"
and
having a life to begin with
that makes
overwhelming
a word I don't want in my dictionary
*
these words alone don't tell the whole story
so in a few days
I'll share more
so that it all comes together

Hey Aunt Beth, It's Thomas. I was just reading your blog and saw the "post a comment" and I thought that I should just say hi.
The black and white is so lovely here, Beth. Interesting that in this case, I liked it better than the "real" pink in the unaltered shot. Can't wait to see your light and dark thoughts come together.
Here's to no overwhelming today !
Cheers, Beautiful Beth !

And, in a few days we'll be hear to add our support when you need us and weigh in when or if you ask.
Meantime...feel us here for you.
your words, as always, are so beautiful, so touching.
Your words paint pictures, too. The color flower is lovely. But I fall into that b/w version with a myriad of emotions. It's filled with depth and mystery. And I smile...
You leave us wondering, waiting, wishing for "when it all comes together."
I like the two photos
beautiful pairing of edits. hope it all comes together in the best possible way.
Can't wait to read the next lines.
I love you, my wise friend. Sending up prayers for you. For strength. For joy. For fortitude. For love.
We're all here, Beth. When you're ready, friend.
And we love to celebrate your happiness, but we also want to be here for you during any times of overwhelm.
You are our soul sister. And, we love you so much.
Peace to your heart, friend.
'tis beautiful, what you do. I will be waiting patiently for your wise words in a few days. I hope they're happy, excited, adventurous,and open; as I know they will be. Love to you all...

These words are so beautiful.
Whatever it is that you are going through, I send you lots of good energy to see you through.

These images are just beautiful! I love them both, they are so different, even though they are the same flower.
I totally resonated with your words, and thank you for them. I send you strength and hope for what ever is going on in your life right now.
Take care
