There are two healings: nature’s,
and ours and nature’s. Nature’s
will come in spite of us, after us,
over the graves of its wasters, as it comes
to the forsaken fields. The healing
that is ours and nature’s will come
if we are willing, if we are patient,
if we know the way, if we will do the work.
~ Wendell Berry

That’s very nice Barbara, both the painting and the poem.
Thank you, Linda.
You’re very welcome Barbara.
Pretty lilies. I saw pink ones for the first time this year!
I can’t remember ever seeing a pink water lily! Must have been lovely.
Beautiful picture of water lilies. There are some water lilies near our house. The painting makes me want to look at them more closely.
I haven’t seen too many of them in person, but somehow I assumed they were all white. Maybe I need to pay closer attention because apparently they come in lots of other colors, too.
