| Art by Judith Clay floating through life oblivious going where my balloon leads never believing it might POP! one day sending me crashing down into reality unknown dazed never having known free will until the moment of the CRASH i have a new balloon now freedom guiding me through love life peace |
oo never having known free will all of a sudden to have it might just cause a bit of a crash, but i am glad it is freedom that now guides you....
ReplyDeletethis pic was my second choice...smiles....very cool....
It was so odd, Brian. I didn't understand the phrase "Thy will be done" until my forties...from that Steven King series The Stand. Always thought it was an incomplete sentence. Choices I'd made of what I thought was free will had always been "other" guided. So yeah...it was a total crash. Nice to learn I could finally have it though :))
DeleteThis is the picture I instantly related with, as well! You express so well the fragility of that kind of flight.
ReplyDeletenice...i much like how this develops from the passive to the active flying...in our own strength...very nicely done...
ReplyDeleteI like this too. If one balloon pops, hopefully another will appear and allow one to SOAR.
ReplyDeleteI love that balloon .. just hold on tight Maggie, and you'll soar like you do with your poems.
ReplyDeleteHolding on tight....smiles.
DeleteI like the optimistic tone of the ending; the idea that we can always rebound!
ReplyDeleteNice... I like the hopeful ending.
ReplyDeleteWhat we learn from crashing and falling down ~ Good one ~
ReplyDeleteSo few people picked this painting. You made her flight of freedom invigorating, even if filled with possible peril.>KB
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, KB. I saw about 10 others writing because I posted early and today is a dizzy day. The art looked like what I would put in a collage before the days of computer collages. Am glad you liked it.
DeleteThat is heart-touching. Ah! Beautiful writing.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun knowing things are under control. Adverse conditions will mean an unfortunate revision to start all over again! Nicely Maggie!

Sometimes, dreams fail. But it is better to have aimed and hoped for something (at the risk of failure) than not at all. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing thing when you find freedom...lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteA new balloon! Perfect.
