What a year ~ thank you all, for your support and friendship. It means the world. It’s that time of year, when we think about the ones no longer with us, and hug those still by our side a little tighter. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. ✨🎄✨🎶

Sometimes, the words left unsaid, are the ones that tell the story.

Many have tried to kill this softness within me. Some have even come close, but it always survives. Then I remember: softness, kindness, empathy, compassion... these things are strengths, not weaknesses.

When you wake up in a painting

Autumn has come and gone, and the leaves that were once afire with color, have dried and fallen to the ground. The wind has scattered us far and wide ~ gone are the days when we clung together, full of life, full of color. Winter has come to claim us, and bury our memories in the dirt. ©️ShePlaysLoud

Follow your heart.

Music is just a different kind of light.

This morning’s endeavour in the Peak District. Two minutes of undeniably glorious light. Autumn getting off to a decent start and I’m trying to get back into the swing of sunrise.

Haven’t painted in a while, so just thought I would get a brush on paper. No reference, just imagination. 🙏🏻 #watercolor #watercolorpainting

"The test of a civilization is in the way that it cares for its helpless members" -Pearl S. Buck

‘Character is created in kindness, comrades, and calmness is cultivated in radically inclusive, other-centered love.'

i watch them with reverence, the way they float and flicker, pearl white specks in a sea of black and i am jealous of the way they light the night i have always been more shadow than shooting star #poetry

A meadow of scars that healed and bloomed.

Don’t let the bad things make you forget all the good things.

She plants a flower for every bruise, a tree for every scar.

Soft hearts and gentle hands. It takes courage and great strength to live this way.

Hiding places.

Are our souls mirroring each other in silent longing, across the distance that separates us?

Say what you need to say. Even if no one wants to hear it.

My favorite people are trees.

Connection is more than repetitive strings of pretty love words. Connection is wordless and sentient and largely inexplicable

What you do is you keep giving love to the world and hope for the best.

My view.
