You know how the smells of certain food, the images of certain things like flowers or sounds like a song all bring you back in time reminding you of that special someone? Time stops for a moment to allow you to place yourself back with that person. That is what was happening today as she waited by the stove preparing her lunch.
The eggs were simmering over roasted garlic and rice. It would take a few minutes longer, she knew, but they would be “just right”, like that amazing omelette she had years ago in her friend’s kitchen in St Basil le Grand. She remembers sitting at the counter and chatting with her as she would go back and forth leisurely but expertly, to the stove, preparing their brunch.
miss her smile
warm and genuine hugs
shimmering baby blues

sharing joys of music
blues and indie songs
warm and genuine hugs

shimmering baby blues
telling so many stories
spill with emotion

Maybe that’s it. Actually every time I make an omelette I think of her 🙂 She is moved a few times…maybe it’s time to take a trip to say “hi” 🙂

So here I am catching up on your blog at long last. I agree about smells taking you back. Also, the spirits seem to have been restless lately. I have been feeling dear departed ones quite close recently too.

Ah, you are very fortunate to feel their presence. I do only in dreams that feel soooo real now.

I think we do a lot of our learning through dreams – particularly at present.
