Gifts

I’ve never received such a lovely gift from someone whom I’ve yet to meet. A beautiful silk scarf with a painterly palette that came all the way from Poland.

This led to remembrances of so many gifts in my life. I look around my garden and think of the women who gifted me plants, seeds, encouragement. When I used my camera to capture the sawyer beetle I am grateful for my husband who gifted me cameras (twice — he replaced the first camera when it was stolen). All the family and friends who gifted me with invaluable advice. I’m thankful even for the advice that I didn’t follow because that clarified what I wanted.

Sundown Wild Forest that keeps gifting me magical plants & fungus, animals and spirits.
Life is a gift. There was a time in my life when I thought that idea was total BS. But now, I am living the gift. And everyday I do my best to use the gifts I was given to gift back.

Thank you for gifting me with your attention.
