it's been a month of fascination with hay.
from the tractors to the wagons,
to the fields and the barns,
i haven't been able to turn away.
and i haven't known why.
surely there's a message in the adage
"make hay while the sun shines".
the sun has shone, hot and dry,
and the hay season has lingered,
long and bountiful.
then today, i understand.
the next bad news about my mother's
journey with cancer came in the
middle of hay season.
the bad news caused us to
make a list of wishes and
plan how to make them come true~
while our season of fields
and bountiful dreams
still shine in the lingering sun.
this was beautiful!
ReplyDeletehay is peaceful, orderly, seems to say things go on as normal, even when they're not. make your wishes & plans - the sun is still in the sky.
