elderberries

I have been picking elderberries today,

 beneath a sky of sun and clouds

thoughts swirling through my head

i see faces i saw last evening and night

hear words that were spoken

there are thoughts and images of love

and war, about a baby that was born in Syria today

about its mother

about insight and insanity... 

and than while zipping the berries from there stems

there's rest, a peaceful mind and colour, nothing but colour

and the wind blowing through my hair

later in the kitchen i see tomorrow's full (blue) moon before i start stirring

slowly

and still a little later there is a kind of contentement

and some berries left on the tree for the birds

tangled angel in my kitchen

Drawing challenge/ Little book

(please click to enlarge)

Wonderful, creative Norma came up with this lovely theme but...

i do have to apologize because my little book is not as little as it should be,

 i did some miscalculation with inches and centimeters,

(that very late work hours make me a less attentive observer sometimes)

so if this were the olympics i'm sure i would be disqualified.

Anyway i had a relaxing and fun pause making ' a slightly larger book' (10,5x14cm)

Please take a look at the fairy yellow bug queen, Norma's colourful blog

for some real little books.

Nice weekend to you all
