Urania took off her glasses and peered into a pink petunia’s buttery throat. She observed sunlit, silk threads drawing sight lines from bloom to leaf, petal to pot. Geometry, or other poems of math, could measure and define leaps extending to the deck rails and beyond, but… that was too much to think about on this glorious summer morning. The Muse of Determination left ciphering for those who had the energy for the practice. Words were her instruments of choice.
Today's piece reminds me of The Guardian in Flourishing Fictions. The beauty you describe in nature most of us would walk past without a second look. Thank you for sharing what you see to the world. I am learning to look closer. Thank you.
Did you perchance dip a toe, or soul, in Browning’s Pippa Passes? “God’s in his heaven; All’s right with the world.” For me that sense of your day was abundantly clear.
Any time to set up a sprinkler for Henrietta? 🙃 Cal could keep a hand on Henny’s leash, at the possible risk of being dragged to Milwaukee!

It's an honor to know you even just a little bit!
If someone walked into the room right now, they would see me smiling… They would immediately know I was full of joy but would have no idea why…
They don’t know what I know, haven’t read what I’ve read, or seen what I’ve seen today, but if they had, they would know Muditā too!
I Am #Grateful for today’s thread and all of the replies and comments!
The “buttery throat” of a petunia has that effect…
T-shirt: “I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing, retraced my steps, got lost on the way back, and now I have no idea what’s going on.” 😁
Possibly due to distractions of the day?
Such a sweet video. The love that blooms in a persons eyes and face is precious when they receive an animal as a gift.

I love Grandpa’s birthday surprise - lots of love in that room Gail 💗
Your love of Dukee and Princess Mia shines through in your writing!
