I woke up this morning thinking of Sue Vincent. The words the Oracle gave me reflect that. She must have been in my dream, although all I remember is the ending which had snow and bright yellow dogs.
The art I was drawn to when looking through the archives for something to illustrate the words was also done for Sue’s prompts.
almost like light
this dusky song
a gentle color
of secret sound
murmured by roots and rain
how to follow
through beneath beside
ask the ancient path
to walk with you

How lovely. I was thinking of Sue this morning as well and that last stanza is perfect for what came through.

I love that topmost image, Kerfe – always like it when you embroider on/through your paintings.

Hi Kerfe, a beautiful poem. It is odd that you should have thought of Sue this morning as she was on my mind earlier today too. I have a number of her books as paperbacks on my shelf. I do miss her.

This is so lovely, Kerfe, a gentle remembrance. You’re right that we had similar thoughts. I wasn’t thinking of Sue, but I think I may have dreamt of my parents. I really love the art, too. The first one especially because the colors make me think of a sunrise over water–and birds in flight.

Thanks Merril. Maybe it’s all the fog, but the veil seems very permeable right now.

The last couplet is exactly what Sue would have done. I’m sure she’s walking it now, perhaps with the man I can see in the centre of the second painting.

It is. I think she’s always been walking it.

This is like a path that weaves through the senses with beauty.
I thought of Sue this morning, when I read about a newly discovered (it had been buried over the years) stone circle near Cornwall, thinking how pleased Sue would be to have it in her own backyard.

Yes she would have loved that discovery. It seems Sue has visited many of us today. That makes me smile.
