This morning...on our deck.....the body of a beautiful woodpecker....his spirit gone to higher flight. The one word that came to mind....Grace.
I asked my husband to bury her gently.....and then...no...I couldn't put that beauty underground.
So...she now lies carefully placed in a plastic bag in my freezer.
Someday to become part of artwork.
Ahhh....the minds and actions of an artist's heart are strange indeed.
And while I was gazing upon the beauty of the woodpecker my mind thought softly to itself "if I found that beautiful bird I would save it to use later and share his beauty again". And so you did!
ReplyDeleteahhh..,yes...that is what I thought..... :)

My verification word is uppers.... maybe meaning up to the heavens : )
how wild and inspiring to find it still so beautiful just after its life moved on ... I believe it passed there as a GIFT for you & it's obvious that you recognized that gift. I look forward to the day it is transformed once again.
ReplyDeleteWHAT a beautiful blog!!!
