They let me stay in their beautiful mountain home whilst they were away. My first SOLitude in years. SOLitude from city convenience, sounds, lights as well as people and duty. It was only 24 hours, but it was enough. The drive up was blessed by RAin, as were the first hours after my arrival. It was a softvelvetymelodicsweetsmelling RAin. You know the kind, the kind that soothes a drought-stRICKen Soul. That night, i walked out onto the deck, and there was the tWINKling Ursa Major walking along the ridge, the same ridge that is behind the tree, in the crispcleanair. It took my breathe away, and was so enigmatic that the image remained with me until i was able to put it down on paper upon my return. i did not want to break the spell by turning on the lights that Knight. The next morn, i spotted a calender with this Sweeping Gatha (http://members.toast.net/m_goodman33/Quotes.htm). i was so enamoRED of it, that i wrote it down. Then as i roamed with my cameRA, i spotted the tree. WOW, i thought, that's the perfect tree to go with that Gatha! DuRING Jill's salon (http://abearnamedhope.blogspot.com/-SALON XI) was when the photo taken came to Light, and the Sweeping Gatha seemed to have some relevance 2 the subject. Az i began to to compose the words, i 'accidentally' came across this font (LARiat) that had stars as dots 4 the i's and a Spring shape 4 the capital E! when i Googled 4 handmade brooms, the number 2 site rendered this gorgeous wedding broom.
