Do Not Despair Ukraine: Time Will Come Good Again ~ John O'Donohue

 
Alameda Fire in Talent, Oregon, USA  September 8, 2020


Our Hearts are with you, Ukraine 

We understand

 


"This is the time to be slow,

Lie low to the wall

Until the bitter weather passes."




"Try, as best you can, not to let the wire brush of doubt

Scrape from your heart

All sense of yourself

And your hesitant light."




"If you remain generous,

Time will come good;

And you will find your feet

again on fresh pastures of promise,

Where the air will be kind

And blushed with beginning."


John O'Donohue




Stand Strong Ukraine






NEVER FORGET--TIME WILL COME GOOD AGAIN~AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR FEET AGAIN ON FRESH PASTURES OF PROMISE~ WHERE THE AIR WILL BE KIND AND BLUSHED WITH BEGINNING.

Sue, how you make beautiful art from a bleak photo is truly a marvel! The devastation has been incredible, and the fires rage on. I hope proper forest management will become a thing again and prevent some of this in future. I will tweet this post in hopes of reaching some who can help those affected by the fire.

Thank you for the correction, 'unknown'. The picture was taken from Molly's 'steps' looking at her neighbor and friend, Lillibet Gillespie's house. Sending love and healing energy to Lillibet Gillespie.
