Beltaine Celtic maiden . . .

the first of my celtic seasons set
*

Beltaine when life bursts forth
and tis a time for feasts and fairs

The Celtic maiden with her fiery hair,
is one of a set of four inspired by
Mother Nature’s seasons.

The ancient Celtic triskele pattern,
symbolizes the cycles of life,
the every changing times of year.

time for reflection 2

... the very first time
in my whole 46yrs that i have spent
a stretch of days just me, myself, i
nothing but my own thoughts for company
with time . . .
time to paint on and on undisturbed

time to read for great long lazy stretches

time to eat when i wanted to eat
time to sleep (guilt free) for 14 hours solidly!
waking up to do it all over again
thank you Mr O for giving me
those wonderfully peaceful few days
how precious that was x
i wonder what precious "me" time others get ??
