A duo, so brutally blended

​   No blog this weekend. Well, technically, I guess this is one. But with our daughter heading back to Calgary in two days, the weekend was spent with her and the blog post will wait.
     Our first week back.
   It was amazing to see people again. It was great to be back with such amazing people again too.
   And that’s about enough to write for now, although I have a COVID-test experience that will be detailed at some point lol. Plus I have probably saved a hundred bookmarks and dozens of quotes over the past months. Soooo many things to think about and soooo many questions about how the next few weeks will play out.

   But of all the things I have saved, this one keeps coming to mind.

   For as excited as I am to see what the fall brings there are a lot of mixed emotions, especially with our daughter leaving (and that’s when there isn’t a pandemic raging in the province next door.) So if you’re feeling conflicted this fall for whatever reason, it’s okay. As the poet below says, there are a lot of feelings being brutally blended together right now. It’s not easy, and that’s alright to admit.

   Till next week (when I promise I’ll have something better to say lol) stay safe.
​Edla.
 
 
i said to the sun
you are so lucky
to have a sky
full
of friends
 
but she looked
disappointed
and she sighed
as she said
 
i’m really
all alone
up here
in the end
 
the clouds
just drift by
and all birds
must descend
 
the sunflowers
love me
then leave me
as the sky
blackens
 
they bask
in my light
then they
all
turn their heads
 
she said
i have mastered
the art
of accepting
in the end
 
love and loss
is a duo
so brutally
blended
