mama cardinal rules chickadee girls
little boy wren musical rooster daddy trailing
back home now and then
feathered species take root dropping
age of branched years limbing minds heart
entwined salty tears born apart
Momma said birds are angels
winged ones reach, bestowing on me more
angel love borne El Salvador
what Momma foretold – oh lo!
behold those bearing wings wrapped as flower
friend’s christmas gift angel power
pink and green shades love
crocheted snowflake hers, angel hearts ensuring fast
Momma’s love will never pass

Lovely thoughts–and I really like the pictures…and I like the idea of birds being angels…
So she said. And one must honor those beliefs even if they don’t belong to us. Well, I believe so, anyway
Glad you like,Sylvia, nice to see you back on here xo
I’d hate to rain on her parade, but you should see what an angel left on the family car yesterday!
lmfao3xover! Mine, too. But did your mama never tell you that it is good luck? Once when I was on my way to visit my mom, some of that landed on my head as I strolled the ferry decks. The first thing she said, okay, maybe hello was first, lol was: “Well that’s good luck when a bird shits on you!” We laughed. I washed my hair. Again. But in thinking about all the old superstitions, they are much more practical than superstitious. Walking under a ladder is just plain risky especially for the person on it, if a black cat crosses your path it means you nearly drove over it, bird doings landing on us – well- they had to make it lucky, didn’t they? Or it would all just be one big shitty mess! LOL
Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Christmas and 2013!!!
And you too, Joe! Hope your Christmas foodie feasts are all joyous and that you share your tasty travels with us when you get back. It sounds like you are taking a break but either way, Happy Happy, Merry Merry and don’t forget the photos and maybe even some recipes for all of us stuck inside this computer!!! LOL
All those lovely birds, and it’s all so feminine, pink, and cosy — you’ve made me smile. Thank you
xox
Much warmth going your way, Sarah! I am really liking pink right now. It seems to be a colour I didn’t have much in my life. The pink silky satchel was only $2 right when I was looking for something to keep my legal/court/files/papers/etc for the lawyer etc It works perfectly, just the right size for pages and holding it when I am in court helps me feel safer for some reason. Maybe all the pretty colours of the rainbow of flower/tapestry on it keep me safe. I dunno. I had the coasters BEFORE my friend from El Salvadore gave me the gorgeous bird ornament! How cool is that! She never even saw the coasters, she is so damn cool. And intuitive. She says to me (imagine a beauty like Penelope Cruz WITH Penelope Cruz’s gorgeous accent): “Janice, stop crying…no more crying.” It makes me smile. So do you! Thanks for winging by Sarah Angel! xo
