Kindness via One single impression

captured red on stone
time’s kindness

hidden by deep pools
voices from yesterday call
black raven above

The photo is of a ca. 700-1200 year old pictograph my family paddled to on Flathead Lake in a kayak last summer. This sheer rock wall is a National Historical Treasure of the Confederated Tribes accessible only by boat.

    I’ve been reading The Great Cosmic Mother, so the images here resonate with that ancient story. These are wonderful. With time and words like yours perhaps we will return to an understanding of this art.

    These are special gifts, given out of kindness to all who understand. Very nice, Christine.

    These are both lovely, but I especially like the first one. It made me think “YES!” that is time’s kindness. Wonderful. Love the photos too.

    It must have been awesome to see this in person. Time’s kindness, indeed.

    ancient graffiti
    artists never knew their work
    would make us go ‘hmmm’

    messages remain
    mysteries to visitors
    imagination

    Hugs and blessings,

    I love the idea of ‘time’s kindness’ and the image ‘captured on red stone’.

    I quite like the second one. It hints at lake mermaids and fairies.

Pick it up!
