Again: the photo says it all.
It needs no words. . . but it also inspires words. What is the story of this girl and this dog and this place?
Life and writing, serious and humorous, old and young, past and present: it's all part of the fabric.
“Maybe we’re here only to say: house, bridge, well, gate, jug, olive-tree, window--at most, pillar, tower--but to say them, remember, oh! to say them in a way that the things themselves never dreamed of so intensely.” --Rilke
So, so beautiful :)

An undeniable connection…
ReplyDeleteA lonely girl (a broken home and unfamiliar surroundings) and a "lost" dog named Lady (according to her tag).
But strange occurrences..
The dog only makes an appearance whenever the girl is distressed—no matter where the girl is. The dog stays nearby until the girl improves but then it suddenly disappears again.
The girl feels a strange bond of sorts with the dog but she can't explain why. Yet many special people have been lost or left behind throughout the young girls life. Could it be... ?
I don't know, this makes me think a bit of Christina's World. It evokes a similar mood.
ReplyDelete... just time to get away and think on a fall day.
ReplyDeletelove that girl
ReplyDeletewith the dirty feet
who follows her friend
through mud
and leaves
and prickly branches
I could think of more situations if it was a boy. I used to run around with our dog a lot.
ReplyDeleteFriendship!Wonderful world!
