She edges across the Irish sky from the south west. Traveling on the wind, changing moment to moment. From first thing in the morning we wonder about what we are in for, what mood will our weather bring today.
Forming a boundary in our relationships, when we go beyond weather talk we are real friends. When we go beyond the comfort zone. Writing is like that too. Going down through the layers to share. Going deep sometimes, or reaching out beyond the barriers.
And when we ask how are you today of each other? Can we stand a gloomy weather report on our moods? Can we listen to sadness and overwhelm, dark and deep thoughts, fear and disappointment?
Just like the skies that roll in minute on minute, night and day, we move and turn. I listen to these transitions everyday, the struggles of change, and seem to hold hearts in my hand while the weather rolls over, patiently waiting until the light returns.
And it does return every morning.
It’s Mental Health Week 2013
Sometimes I do not know what to say when I read your posts, because my words do not do them justice, so I shall just say Stunningly beautiful !…Thea xx
Well now Thea you have made my day so far, and although it's still early I feel we are both getting off to a positive start, thank you so much:~))
Thank goodness the light does return every morning 🙂 Sometimes brightly, sometimes it's still dark at 9 a.m. if it's a rainy day but the sun does show up eventually.
Aren't clouds amazing things to photograph? Your photos are terrific.
Have a great week!
Thanks for you kind words Astrid, yes the clouds are fascinating. They cross here so fast with the south westerlies pushing them on, always something different to see, every few minutes!!
Lovely thoughts…the weather is such a reflection of the human spirit and you've captured it so beautifully. The little cottage with the sunrise(?) is stunning!
Thanks Kerry, it's a little deserted cottage, although some one has just bought it after many years….which I'm delighted about……
Thank goodness it returns each day. Where would we be without it??
Thanks Jenny, it's a reminder each time, that life is short and precious:~))
The pictures are beautiful, but the first two are just stunning. When reading your words I can only sigh…….
Janneke, thank you so much, I am sighing myself too, LOL!!!
You have such a gift for writing that I too am often at a loss of words as to how to respond but I can you that you always touch something deep inside and I connect…….Your photographs as well are beautiful; simply stunning….
One day I am going to visit your beautiful country….
O thank you Nancy, connecting is what it's about and I'm thrilled that you are touched, that makes it all worthwhile:~))
Such beauty in our world, so wonderful that you have captured the moments.
Thank you Greenthumb! Much appreciated:~))
You are so right Catherine, as sure as night follows day, the light does return, but sometimes it is hard to imagine that it will. We talk a lot about the weather don't we, but perhaps it is a safe way of connecting….without giving away our hearts. Beautiful photos as always, and thank you for making us think . Jane
Even if the light comes to us at different times and from different directions it aways comes back….so far anyway Jane!!
Big hug to you down under. x
So beautifully written..and that first capture just took my breath! WOW!
Thank you Robin, I wish I was there on that super photo walk in NYC, much as I love the stones of this place here, I also love the Brooklyn Bridge!!!
Lovely post with stunning photos!

Thank you Cait:~))
Watching & listening. We all need to do so much more of that. I love the sentiment and the way you expose it.
Thanks Kate, I need to do so much more of it too:~))
Such skies! and this eye! Beautiful and mysterious. You're an artist of lights and blues… and light returns…
Thanks Amelie, very much:~))
Just absolutely beautiful photos! Some great thoughts. It is so hard to see the light sometimes when we are in a season of bad times, but it does return.
Thanks Indie, the earth is turning towards winter here too…..but as you say the light does return:~))
Great blog! I will definitely visit it again!
Wow. These pictures are absolutely stunning. That first one especially blows my mind. You are such a talented photographer!
Beautiful images…I do like to contemplate my moods and thoughts around different weather…and contemplating under the moon and watching the sun rise are my favorite. The sun returning brings such delight even with winter heading our way!
the last two are beautiful
