drawing | water

beyond this house lies a shallow creek. over its bed runs clear water. ducks sometimes fly in and over the water. its bank keeps winter sheep at bay. even when you don't see the water, you can hear it, in the back of the house's garden. patrice's drawing challenge of water this weekend. can i just say, i deeply appreciate your marks of empathy. they learn me, time and again, each and every one of us, at intervals, sails troubled waters. i do am infinitely grateful for your sensibilities. i carry thee, in my ♥

  6. I can almost hear it! I always wanted to live in a situation such as that, but just now, with the ocean roaring away, maybe I would also need soundproof windows. Big hugs and much love and peace to you to get over life's hurdles. :)

  7. Actually, I "walked" in your description of what's beyond the house, and I could see that. Liked it!
    Which means, reepstraat? (sorry for not knowing)

  8. Aaah, as someone who has been there I can clearly recognize your house! And you're right sometimes we travel through rough waters and we must learn to swim and more often be able to let go and just let it flow...
    Love + hugs!

  9. Love your words and drawings. This type of water can bring us peace even in troubled water times - I hope the storm is passing, or at least becoming manageable.

  17. You brims my heart, dear Nadeschda. Like the slowly coming flood, the tizzy comes up looking at the streets name, looking at your link back (fillips! ha!) find a photo... and go crazy!! Can hear the sound of water... sounds like the Eisenbach with the ducks :-)
    Sometimes is the water
    blue
    heart heavy like a stone
    water calm
    makes it soft
    again.

    Maybe you are in for the next weekend's dc? It is NEST

    Love
