wild white violet
delicately balanced on
a whisper of stem
an impossible thread
thin stalk supports the blossom
head slightly bent down
perhaps her own prayer
gratitude in this moment
for small sweet blessings
What small blessings have you witnessed this morning?

The poem and photo above are mine, but my blogging friend Nina has collaborated with photographer Brenda Washington to create a book of photography and poetry that they would very much like to see published. Please consider casting a vote for these two gifted women in The Next Top Spiritual Author contest.

Very beautiful. I hope you are well today :) xJ
ReplyDeletein a sad funk today...sometimes I get depressed reading blogs...It feeds into the very thing I'm sad about. I feel others are so lucky with beautiful familys and that they have a joy of living that I seem to lack..oh woe is me...I know pathetic but there you have it. I'm breathing in the safe etc. but sometimes the blogs and the shiny happy people make me sadder.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and poem, Laura!
ReplyDeletewhat a nice post, I'm off to click on your links

Violets are so pretty. And your poem is lovely, Laura. Too many small blessings to count this morning starting with the glorious sunrise.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Laura! The most beautiful small blessing this morning was a dove cooing outside the window where I was working. It is a sound of my childhood and immediately fills me with calm and joy! And now I am sending some of that your way!! Much love, Silke
ReplyDeleteYour poem is beautiful. The petals remind me of 2 cupped hands with an offering to the sky.
ReplyDeleteOh my dearest Laura, I am inspired by your words and wisdom's. You have such a beautiful soul and see the glories of the world as only you can do.

ReplyDeleteI am humbled and honored by your kinds words. Thank you from the depths of my heart for helping to get the word out about the contest. We all hare a Light to shine, and this is one dream to share mine.
Thank you again and many Blessings to you and yours. I am so glad you are able to write and blog again. Blessings. Love and Light, Nina P
I noticed new, delicate leaves in my flower garden and remembered that I planted purple violets last year. Small sweet blessings....
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about these little beauties that dance in my yard each spring..you captured the essence so well in verse and image laura
ReplyDeleteThe blessing of seeing the first cherry blossom on a tree that hadn't yet opened earlier this morning... the sight of a tiny dove's feather floating to the ground...
ReplyDeleteLovely laura x
