this world
bristles with thorns…
yet there are lotuses~Issa, 1815
I am off on an adventure. Well, not an adventure exactly. More like family business. I’m sure M and I will manage to find time for some small walks, hikes, and adventures. I don’t expect to have internet access and even if I did, I think it’s going to be nice to take the weekend off.
Be back soon!

LOVE this photo, Robin. Do you make custom greeting cards? (Like if I picked some of my favourite images, could you make them into cards for me?) Let me know! 🙂
Thank you, Dana. 🙂
I’ll email you soon about the greeting cards. Just trying to get caught up a bit here.
Have a great trip, Robin. The lotus is stunning. (Sorry to have been away all week. We had a visitor from Vietnam, and I’m only now getting back to the blogosphere.)
Hugs,
Kathy
Thanks, Kathy. I hope your visit with your friend from Vietnam went well. 🙂
Thorns and lotus. How you’ve nudged us to see that both exist… and that it’s OK.
