“From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It’s the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
‘Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life.” – Carmen Twillie and Lebo M

Thank you!
You are welcome, my friend.
A thoughtful and beautiful post, Priscilla. Back to our origins and to our neverending Circle of Life. Hope your daughter is well now.
Thank you, Ann-Christine. She is healing very well. 🙂

What a lovely post -In the circle of life – lovely thoughts. I truly enjoyed your choices. the tree tops so fitting for the thought in the last paragraph .
Thanks, Ritva!
Great photos, outstanding poem. Excellent!
Thanks, John!
Hoping your daughter heals quickly. I imagine she is as comforted by you as you were seeing and feeling her. I used to say, when all my kids are in the same place at the same time, I am most content, and I sleep so well. It’s not that I don’t otherwise, but there is this sense of feeling complete in those moments…I guess. Yes, love makes the world go around.
Once again, I loved the way your poetry weaved its way around your photos, Priscilla. My favorites are of the photographer, and the sand dollar. But all of them were creative selections for the challenge.
Thanks, Donna, for your kind words and your healing wishes. Much appreciated and received in love!
Priscilla, I loved the macros, but your opening image blew my mind. What a great photo!
Thanks, Edigio!
A beautifully illustrated poem, full of emotion and meaning. Glad to see your daughter is doing well.
Thanks, Sofia!
Lovely captures!
Thanks!
So well-done Priscilla, but I most loved your comments about your time with your daughter. I’ve just returned from a week with my brother who is suffering from dementia. Comforting our loved ones tops the list of the things we do that can be the most difficult but are the most rewarding.
Agreed. Thanks, Tina!
Beautiful post Priscilla! Love the imagery and narrative. Caring for an adult child does give a mom a sense of purpose.
Thanks, Anne! My “mom” energy keeps yearning for an outlet, even now. 🙂
Beautiful pictures, Priscilla, and a beautiful post! Hope you daughter is doing much better.
Thank you, Sylvia! She’s healing quite well. 🙂
