First, I'll say that my daughter won't appreciate the photos I am about to share. Probably, my mom won't be pleased either.
Comes a time we have known before~when we feel a bit out of sorts. Maybe the rain gutters on your house are threatening to rip off your eaves? Probably you are reluctant to climb the ladder and address the problem? Maybe you are feeling like Cali's new black tire (what happened to the pink one?!) ~ lost between the storm door and the front door and no one has noticed you are missing? It may be I am not speaking about gutters and eaves, doors and tires.
In an antique aqua blue vase next to my bed is a bouquet of wheat stalks. A few years ago someone read a short story I had written about wheat fields. And then a few someones went for a drive along the Hi-Line, thinking to take a photo of the crop and send me the photo. Others thought to stop and pick some stalks. Someone parted with a favorite vase.
When I realize I am feeling invisible, or underpowered and not willing to climb ladders to save my eaves, the wheat stalks cheer me on. And when I say wheat stalks, I mean to say wheat pickers.
