Hope the last week of Spring ends well for you!<br /><br />Sylvia~ <em>An understated meditation on the small beauty of a single human life.</em> I loved that!<br />Recently my husband said my hair was now the color of "driftwood or beachwood" and it struck me as one of the glorious compliments I've had in my lifetime. No wonder that the word crept, unplanned, into this magpie. <br /><br />Helen~ You and your Sahara-colored-hair-turned-to-driftwood are very appreciated for that great comment. Thanks!<br /><br />Brian~ Interesting you would say that because as I wrote it I kept wondering if I should change it into poem form....<br />Always appreciate your comments, critiques.<br /><br />Tess~ Thank you for coming here as you make the rounds of magpies inspired by your <strong>glorious</strong> photograph of the shell. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-75880278992447670922011-06-17T06:56:37.734-07:002011-06-17T06:56:37.734-07:00I adore your shell-like description of Shelly.

I enjoyed the earthy palette with which you painted the MC (especially when you described how her hair aged like driftwood-- what a beautiful metaphor for how age gave her wisdom and serenity) and the quiet longing of the piece.
