The water and floods have receded ...






and the earth about me seems clean and fresh...dags hang off the barbwired fence from the flooding...and the faeries...quietly crept back in amongst the trees .




Why would i think they would not...???

Poor Oz, being hit with fire and flood. My heart weeps for missing family members, and lost homes. Homes are dreams and dreams are dashed.

At the bottom of the box there is always hope, and as Pandora found, hope will prevail.

Regards from a Maudlin Stag.

Sorry Stag...on my other blog Ella's Child I have posted a link which leads to photos of all those they have found and identified. Some will never be identified and many will never be found. Some will be listed as missing persons because no one knew they were there.

I just scribble these things, I guess as a sort of quiet mind time, when I need not to think... for the pleasure...

After this and our flood my favourite brother in law was killed in a bus crash - he was the driver and he saved the passengers by steering the bus so he would cop the full impact. I shall miss him forever as he and his wife were so open and good to me after my own husband was killed a year or so ago.

Went to draw last night and just couldn't, at first ...but made myself get out the colours...and just started with an eye...it goes from there.

Autumn has arrived with its mildness and I have to hope for better and be and am eternally grateful for everything i have...life itself and y daughters.

Feeling a bit maudlin here as well...
