What a perfect place for what you needed right now, Vicky. The flowers were so lovely and each one could be studied for an age. So much there - so many metaphors for all you're going through. And I love that Mother Joseph visited with you especially and brought you light and comfort. May it continue to bathe you and guide you as you face all these challenges. Praying the nausea will abate. Much love and serious hugs. I'm a SERIOUS hugger.Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-47138844550234613702013-06-16T06:40:01.981-05:002013-06-16T06:40:01.981-05:00What a beautiful place!

I smiled to find it now, and to relive the experience with you. We were there together, and yet, separate in the moments I was buried in my words, and you were buried in thoughts of green and sprinkles. I am so happy you got out onto the grounds so I, too, can now experience a bit of what I missed! I have to say, the guinea hens...made me giggle. What a great photo! And then the flowers...one by one...I felt so peaceful to see them through your eyes. It really was like I was back there again. Thank you thank you. And yes, we will be back, and I look forward to our next visit to Carmel! Thanks for agreeing to return with me for a while. XXOO, RoxaneRoxane B.
