Photo Quest #13 was to describe Spring (or Autumn) and what it means to you.
Well Spring here in Western Washington is like a kid waking up for school on Monday, Cranky, screaming "5 more Minutes of Winter! " followed by fits on angry hail, rain storms, wind. Then after the Shower, there are rainbows, Tulips, and fresh green leaves waking up from a long winter. As soon as you start to enjoy this bit of spring you mention something Spring does not like and they Storm off to bed again leaving the ground frozen and littered with ice pellets. This is what Spring means to me. Haha! Here are my Three Submissions.
Yesterday was cold and icy in the morning. I ran outside in my jammies and slippers to capture the icy feathers that appeared on our car and truck in the night. I LOVE those patterns SO much! They never form in those shapes again. The sun was out and melting all of the ice. Had to capture them quickly!
I am not a great writer, I am not very articulate. This is the best way I can describe how depression feels to me. So here I go...................
I cannot find the strength to Fly, to pull myself out of a simple puddle. It feels more like an ocean and all I know how to do is Dog Paddle.
I feel rusted shut, I could not move if I tried.
And when I can move, the feeling of being overwhelmed.
I could not possibly tackle these tasks.
Even the small ones seem so huge
My thoughts seem so scattered, how could I possibly make sense of all the jumbled thoughts
My muscles tie themselves in knots and stiffen my limbs
It has been so long since I truly felt free that I don't know where to start. I want to play.
All I need to do is loosen the rust that has eaten me up and open myself up.
Then I can truly be free again.
these were all pictures taken today on my walk. : ) I am trying! I am Fighting! I will not give up.
