This was a really beautiful read, thank you. I loved your images and description of the colours in the sky...magenta, wow! Your timely post reminded me of a quote I love, “In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart”. (Blaise Pascal I believe...) xx
I also meant to add to that comment that I became a part of a sky lovers group (it wasn’t called that...possibly something to do with clouds?) on Facebook a while back. So joyful! I’ve seen some incredible things through that. I hardly go on FB anymore but it’s always a gift to be greeted by a stunning sky if I do need to open it for anything. Xx
I’m the same way with skies, I’m never not in awe of or excited by them, & because others know I love the sky, I’m often sent beautiful pictures as a “thinking of you!” message, which I love.
One of my friends and I call ourselves 'sunset hunters' and our WhatsApp chat is 90% sky piccies! I'll also think of you now when I see a gorgeous sky too
Seeking out beauty in nature is a tonic for me too. I’ve lost count of the number of sunrise and sunset photos I’ve taken from my window. We currently look onto a golden field. It’s post harvest and it’s lovely...definitely one of the gifts of relocating to the countryside 🥰
Thanks Emily. I can't believe the sunrise I witnessed this morning! It just underscored everything I'd written about. Off to check out whose been adding to your beautiful thread
Oh yes... that Mary Oliver poem, especially the last lines... Your writing so rich and full of exquisite images and deeper questions as always, Janelle. Thank you. 🌼✨
Loving these sky photos, and the poem! This post is as ever a treasure trove of much-needed beauty doses. I dragged myself out for a run this morning despite reallllly not wanting to, but the misty sunshine and the sky at that time was a lovely reward!

Such a poignant quote. Thanks so much Lyndsay. I'm glad you feel it too

Ooh lovely! I don't really do FB these days either but I might have to seek out this group. I can't get enough sky pics!

Enjoyed this piece & the sky pics💕💕
Aww that's so lovely, Cyrene.

That sounds beautiful. I really think it is a gift too, Sarah. To have access to that awe at the start or end of the day is powerful.
Thanks for this, Janelle. I loved the audio of this week's letter, and your reading of the poem is beautiful. Those skies, too. Lush. x
Thanks so much Lindsay.
This was actually v3 recording 😅 as I kept changing bits.
Aren't they just.
I saw the most SPECTACULAR sunrise this morning which was very apt
Such beautiful photographs Janelle and poem. Just such a lovely post 🥰

Hope you have a beautiful Sunday
Such a gift, thank you. I'll be coming back to it time and again now

Love this. I also recently wrote about a special sunset, they really are powerful and grounding.
Ooh I'll seek this out if it's on Substack. Thank you Sally.
Yes I write on substack ☺️ https://open.substack.com/pub/wildgreensally/p/a-bittersweet-sunset?r=djheg&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Thank you, Luisa! Your tiny poem prompts have inspired me. You've helped to make it more accessible so, thank you
