A Normal Day

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."

Mary Jean

  1. Love this quote! Perfectly accompanied by the artwork. I don’t know if I know Mary Jean but the three of you do fabulous work.:) The new honeycomb/bee theme is so fresh and fun for spring! A very happy site to visit.

  2. Ah, yes! I too relish the days of my life that pass without drama. In fact, I don’t even mind when things are a little dull.
    This is a great reminder!
