angelic choir–– divine raspberry serenade |
This image was created from a photo of my grandson, taken at his third birthday party last week-end. The pose, captured by his Uncle Philip, was so angelic and sweet that I just had to have some fun with it. When he saw the original, he giggled and said, "I was makin' silly noises on my arm!" Oh, so much for angelic. Ha.
Thank goodness for the little ones and their gusto for living in the moment. They have a magical way of instantly making us forget sadness or worry or whatever less-than-happy emotion we might be momentarily stuck within.
Today, in anticipation of getting to ride his new bike, this happy, little soul ran to the open window, pressed his face to the screen and exclaimed, "Hi World! Whaddaya doin'? I comin' outside in a minnit!"
Such delightful exuberance. Watch out, World. :)
Please visit the lovely Rebecca's blog and follow the yellow brick road to gently open, fill and haiku your heart.
Peace.
Hello Deb,
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful haiku. I wanted to stop by to offer my prayers and blessings to you at the loss of your dear father. I do know what it is to lose a parent; it is a journey we all must take unfortunately and it takes the longest time to heal it seems. I wish you peace, love and support from friends and many blessings of loving kindness down the road.
xxoo,
Noelle

Sweet photo. I just love it that he was honest and told you what he was really doing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone. Three-year-olds are such a delight - they say exactly what's on their minds and my grandson is no exception. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm fortunate enough to be reminded every day of the joy and beauty in the world, no matter what circumstances might surround me in the moment. I'm also fortunate to have found such a warm and wonderful group of poetic souls with whom to share what I find.
Thank you all.

Marilyn, this image was digitally enhanced in Photoshop, using many layers, filters, textures and brushes. I have several versions of it – I love to play. ;)
ReplyDeleteI recently took a class which opened up entirely new worlds for me. So much fun.
