Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Wednesday Vignette - This Moment



As the golden autumn sun rises in the little room where I sit at the computer,



the day is already old five thousand miles away in Spain.


This moment perfect golden grasp it see it
This moment laughing happy feel it be it

Curve of face warmth of hands butterflies
Pinned in place when it mends try

This moment ripened bursting taste it name it
This moment precious fleeting catch it frame it

Curve of moon warmth of air willow bough
Winter soon be aware now how

This sadness aching reaching looking on
At this moment present distant shining bubble touch it lose it

Happy laughing perfect golden
Gone.

  4. Is the computer room the former plant migration area? I like it's new purpose better :-)
    You always find a perfect song to go with your posts. Or maybe you have a song playing in your head and you tailor a post to it? Hmmm.
    Where is this magnificent cathedral?

    1. No, this isn't the former plant migration area. These are just a couple of stained glass panels that are sitting in windows, not installed. I'll ask Tom about the cathedral location. Somehow, I lost track of the city but it's in Spain.

    2. The songs usually pop into my head as I'm writing something or looking at a picture. They are always playing in my head so life is one continual musical where I often expect crowds to break into song. The cathedral is in Salamanca.

  5. Purdy! So do you have the window cracked open a bit there? Or is there a clear glass space in the middle?

    1. Two different panels sitting in the top and bottom of a clear glass double hung window.

  6. Do you get winter sunlight there too? That would really lift my spirits during the off season.

    1. Yes, there is winter sunlight but only for a short time in the morning. East facing windows.

  8. Beautiful! I love morning and evening golden moments. Despite the ugliness of the neighbor's clear-cut property, I've been enjoying the increased light in the evenings for those moments.
