This is so peaceful, sweet and neat, a beloved cat, a stone and a tree, all beautiful things cast by nature.

Posted on Wed, 27 Jun 2018
It's amazing how our brains fill in the gaps left by losses and might have beens. I cannot imagine having one chance like that and having it snatched away. It would leave me forever in a sort of prolonged gasp I think. The way you've described...

You are a true artist. The way you've painted roses in words is just perfect, you didn't push too hard with the brush but the colours of your thoughts are still bold. A summer's day brought to life.
