welcome to the world


The shallow bowl held only four items. A hairline crack ran down the side, as it had for nearly 47 years. It sat in the same place, moved only when lifted by hands that prodded its contents just to set it down again.

Some things begin to be after enough time. they are no longer a thing, they hold too much within to be just an object any longer. Despite their use, they have transcended. Shh, it’s a secret only and dying people recognize, it’s a truth all the same.

Morning dew left faery handkerchiefs in the grass, the sun just now lighting on them, jeweled memories of the gatherings she is never woke to see. She sidestepped the little webs, holding her skirt high, careful not to break any. It would be a hot one today, already her curls tangled, began to crawl higher. By the time she took her place, her feet were wet.

To sit in a field of a morning is a strong thing. It’s breathing in life. Of course, the same can be said for a forest or the ocean. It helps not to chatter. When she pushed back against the rock, she was ready for the day. It would be a long one, no doubt.

When home, she slipped her hand in the shallow bowl and pulled out the amethyst crystal with the anemone inside it. Stepping outside, she passed the crystal through a faery web, slipped it in her apron pocket. It would cut the pain for the mother.

She tidied, read, made a batch of dough for bread, started her laundry.
It was nearly 3:00 when the call came. She decided to walk, the boy coming was still waiting for something. It would take a while.

She took the dough with her. Bread would be good for the family for supper; the smell might pull the wee one out. Her smile was broad as she set off.

I love the way you paint the landscape, and a tiny bit of the subject, but leave the small details for the reader's imagination.

It's your description of fields that's got me this time. Fields change big time not just from season to season but from morning to evening. I love fields particularly if wild things are growing along with the planted crops.


wickedeasy replies on 10/19/2017 4:12 pm:
oh yes, they change as clouds move in the sky. i remember sitting on a fence above the field that ran down to the river on my uncle's farm for hours, watching it move. it was a movie. smiles.

This was a great description of many of my doula friends and how they feel about that day of work and potential bliss.

To sit in a field of a morning is a strong thing. It’s breathing in life.

These are the type of lines I love to read from writers... so much impact and meaning caught in brevity.

having spent a good deal of time on farms, i treasure the changes of a field. sun, wind, shadows, seasons all from my favorite spot.

what a gift it was to have farmers in my life.
