The bearded one who lives in my yard,
silent sentinel standing guard
never asks for compense
in dollars and cents,
but a mere breath to share
in the whisper of air
between he
and me.

You’re welcome. Yes, my stitches are gone and I am doing good. I’m always around, just invisible due to heavy work load.

I understand. I have not been doing as much lately due to work. I am also changing jobs so it will be very hectic in a couple of weeks.

It is merely my interpretation, Tienny. An energy I feel. Perhaps she is an old lady with gray locks as well! 😀

Such an iconic image of the South of America. I’ve never been, have only ever seen ‘the bearded one’ in films and photographs, yet when I see an image, such as yours, I can almost feel what it’s like to be there.

Oh I do hope you get to visit someday Julia. There is a richness in the South, something that stirs the heart. My favorite park has a 2 thousand year old oak. I love to touch the bark and feel its energy. Jusy imagine the wonders, horrors and life it has seen! So glad you enjoy the photos. Have a lovely weekend and hope you feel well.
