Clearly, our ideas of what it takes to make courtly decisions have changed. And I also love the pictures of you and your friend. I definitely see the present-day you in your photograph and the story behind the bandage (which you remember so well) is fun. Plus the renewal of old friendships always makes me feel good.<br /><br />I hope you have a lovely Sunday.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959874504681715396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-7445734830359630852010-02-21T00:51:16.699-08:002010-02-21T00:51:16.699-08:00distracted~ We must have been in a similar space.....distracted~ We must have been in a similar space...or frame of mind. :)<br /><br />Rhi~ The poem really spoke to me to, and when I saw the photograph I thought <em>I bet Margaret Atwood might think this got to the heart of her poem, at least in some ways</em>...<br />I enjoy always your expressions of myth, mysticism, and Native American truth. <br /><br />Phivos~ The poem impressed you as it did me.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-25118710284087358102010-02-20T23:38:01.804-08:002010-02-20T23:38:01.804-08:00Another beautiful poem full of feelings and emotio...Another beautiful poem full of feelings and emotions.Phivos Nicolaideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149376242558001013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-47263846064921021712010-02-20T15:55:11.816-08:002010-02-20T15:55:11.816-08:00I absolutely love this post..the lovely beautiful ...I absolutely love this post..the lovely beautiful photo..and the poem. As I read the poem and looked at the photo, for some reason it made me think of the Goddess's of the underworld...the Lady of the lake,(who also is sometimes called Rhiannon in the mythology tale) and The Mist of Avalon, etc...Maybe my feeling on this is because of when darkness falls and sleep comes to us late in the night,we are somehow watched over or go "into" the "otherworld" or something of that nature..not sure..anyway enjoyed this immensely.<br /><br />I also love the artwork (bottom of this post) of the woman with the wolf. I have always felt a lot of connection with women and the wolves. Partly due to the book "Women who runs with the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Est'es...and also because of the Native American Indian womens connection with the wolves..and a lot of paintings I've seen with a Native American Woman with a wolf. I have a painting (not mine) I had posted on my blog years ago of a Native American Indian woman looking down into her reflection in the water...but her reflection was of a young wolf instead...I'm sure you get the meaning.<br /><br />Thank you for this lovely post Lydia. Hope your enjoying the warmer days of late..spring is slowly on it's way!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />RhiRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533771985725095499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-12531077735638015012010-02-20T08:43:49.789-08:002010-02-20T08:43:49.789-08:00Thanks, I needed this today. :>)Thanks, I needed this today. :>)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238905633085051322noreply@blogger.com
