Paradise
August 29, 2009
I want to bottle the scent of freesias and give it to you, all my childhood picnics in an amber vial. That you may never be lonely in winter or forget the honeysuckle spring. I know it’s a big bad world out there but there is a paradise as well, a patch of blue sky between branches that appears as I swing-wing on my rainbow hammock in the garden green. Don’t cry, Ladybird, lift your little wing-cases and fly.
So small is it!
I missed you!
Kisses

your words are beautiful and true, always so true.
I have missed you and your posts
Ladybird! I love that when one lands on you momentarily you are lost in childlike wonder…
Of course I can never entirely forget they are ruthless predatores, aphids beware ;)
Aw, what lovely sentiments.
Hope you made a good wish on your ladybug friend.
That’s so beautiful, and so wonderful to imagine!
…And it is posts like these that make my day :)
They truly remind me that in such a dark world, there is that Paradise and we just need to open our hearts.

This is beautiful. I always wanted to bottle some scents as well.
A lovely photo, and beautiful writing as well!
Just found your blog on a day when I felt I had to burry yet another princess-childhood dream…finding your site and reading your post gives me hope that I’m not a lost princess in my fairytale forest.
what a darling photo. really conjures images of fall.
so fragile x
… i had a ladybeetle on me the other day, but it was a yellow colour.. it was still pretty though =]
you are magic.
Such a lovely ladybug! One landed on my hand last week, and I let it sit there until it flew away.
Isn’t it weird the fact that we have to coexist between a world with both paradise and hell’s characteristics?
I loved the little text you wrote Skye :3333
thank you for this post.
it has really helped make my day a little brighter.
thank you for everything, even if I am just one girl in the middle of no where.
