Thalia’s stomp succeeds. “Ooooooomph! Dihhhhd it!” “Husk removed.” Nia stoops to pick up the tan beauty. “Next — the shell.” “Sweet meats protected….” Calliope drops another nut into Tal’s pocket, “… until the time is right.” A large oak tree is just a little nut that refused to give up.
Thanks for being here and generously commenting Julie. This morning my friend Elaine and I hosted a Clubhouse room in which we talked about validation. There's an Englishman, Troy Hawke, who tosses out the most lovely, witty, and uplifting validations to passersby. He can be found on YouTube.
He said giving (sincere) compliments is a "natural high for the both of you." 😊
After enjoying the shag nut hickory facts, and the small strawberries accenting the “canvas”, the video suggesting that introverts can become comedians (comediennes) was a delight. Vinh Giang, describing the mechanisms of the process, was so helpful! I’ve read that First People boiled cracked nuts to produce a version of butter! I never went that far yet the cracking and finding the meat was synonymous with Fall!
This LoveLetter afforded a chance to share aspects of earlier times in our lives. 🙏🏽
A note from LoveLetterist:
Yesterday I came across a meme that said:
The joy of life can be found in the pursuit of becoming your best self.
Do we all have sweet meat hiding under our shells?

I enjoyed that you began with an abstract illustration and ended with a practical application of the principles presented in the beginning. 🎩
