The bluebell woods part 2

First,a verse I feel fits with the thought of growing through…

‘God’s love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky. To give light to us who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of peace.’ Luke 1:78,79

( And the child,Jesus, grew and became strong in spirit and was in the desert till the day of his showing in Israel. Verse 80 )

The woods are surrounded by larger trees not yet in leaf, and the black thorns as sharp as they can be are no longer covered in white fluffy blossom but green leaves. As one enters the bluebell woods, the colour is coming through. It is slow but sure as their stems uncurl. Yesterday, we noticed this slow change in colour as we walked further toward the centre than before.

I will show five photographs taken in sunlight, and under each will be a quote with through.

The first photograph is the spot I am ‘ following ‘.

‘ It  takes a lot of courage to push through hard times. Never give up. Good things are coming your way.’

‘Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.’

Napoleon Hill

Then, I looked outside the blue bell woods.

‘ Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you’re riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from HATE, MISCHIEF, and JEALOUSY.  Don’t bury your thoughts. Put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!’

Bob Marley

The trees and tree/ shrubs that are  changing to green so quickly.

Returning from the woods I enjoyed painting this. The still hidden blue bell. Hidden by the green of all the long, smooth,nurturing plant leaves.

‘ The sunshine coming through your window isn’t a thief but a special guest.’

Michael Bassey Johns

I hope all is well.

Take care,

Sandy 🙂
