Holding a Mirror

  In the painting above the young woman holds a mirror behind herself as she gazes into the future, in doing so she places her hand to her heart. She is sitting- could that mean she is not in a hurry. Though her foot inches forward prepared with a shoe that touches the ground. Could that mean she is ready even if she is not in a hurry.

What do you see? Where does the story unfold?

The nights are calmer. My father sleeps in a familiar position, his hand to his heart. I hold a mirror to the past several weeks.... I am not in a hurry-

That's a very interesting painting. I can't quite decide what's happening in it. Do you know who painted it? I'd swear at first glance it's two people there, not one, makes me think of a mystery. Since I can't quite figure it out. The foot that's stepping forward looks like a right foot, which isn't what you'd think would be stepping forward.....and I'm gonna quit blabbing now. Cooool painting, I thank you for sharing as it's made me very curious.
Continued good thoughts for you and your family!!

She is meditating. No hurry. Past, present and future together. Life. The wind, the earth, a glimpse of water in the mirror and passion in the heart. Love.

You have such a lovely way of putting life experiences in perspective. Thank you for being Corey.

A very interesting observation, Corey. Maybe she's signaling to her lover who is miles away from her...? Maybe her love is at sea and she's signaling from the shore?

Hi Corey!
Just checking in with you. Wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and still praying.I'm glad your dad is resting easier. Many hugs, Marge

Sometimes mirrors do not give the correct reflect of the reflection on it. Perhaps a bit too much philosophic this meditation of mine... But what you wrote, Corey, made me think of a recent post of yours: "on ne voit bien qu' avec le coeur. L' essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." Isn't it?

Love*

I just wanted to say that I hope for the best with your father and your family. My best thoughts for you...

[Sue K.]

I stop in to check on you and your family almost every day. I just wanted to leave you a little note and let you know you're cared for.

How breathtaking to watch the Moon flower unfurl! I am glad your father is resting better. Still keeping you all in my prayers.

[Carol]

As always, Corey, your observations are so inspiring and thought provoking.

My hope is that one day you will put all of them in a book for a wider audience's benefit. In fact, now that I think about it several books.

May God richly bless you and your family today!

The mirror is pointed towards the sky, as if to say to those on High, ponder your own beauty for awhile. Give me a little more time here.

Then, she says, "I know it is a low thing to love this earth, to love this life, but I'm a bit attached. I'm coming, but I just need one last moment to take it in and hold it close. So that I can remember."

We are always getting ready for something.

Time can pass so quickly and in other ways stand still. I imagine you are experiencing a bit of both lately. Thoughts and prayers your way....

We are always in transition, yes? I am glad your dad is having some calm moments, and that you can witness and appreciate them. This has been quite a path the two of you have had to travel. You seem to have a knack for always looking for the gift in a situation, TICA. Your observations surely help others in similar situations.

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come~
Blessings
Prayers continue.
I love you

Even in the midst of all that you are going through, you still find the words and images that inspire a sense of wonder in all of us lucky enough to see them. Thank you, Corey. I'm glad the nights are calmer, easier for your dad. Thinking of you both~xo
