Look at this old picture. What was their story? I can almost smell the water in the wind, hear their laughter, and feel the love they had for one another.
I get the same warm feeling when looking at my own family pictures. To step back in time in my mind, and experince the joy of days gone by.

Wow, I love this old pic! A whole bunch of generations goin on! I love to look through all my pics, in fact my Mom is making family collages as we speak. She has given me so many beautiful pics recently and I just love them! I love looking back at my kids pics. Sometimes, I do get real sad though for a fleeting moment. Then I praise God for the time spent and the moment captured. Great pic Susan! And I love the trees!
Yes, you see the spirit in this old photo. In an other country, in another generation of time, someone took a picture, and opened a window for us to see through.
Moment captured, and the paradox, or illusion of time in the passing.
Hold tight to your moments Miss Starwisher, then let them go straight into your heart forever.
When growing up, my parents weren't famous for taking pictures. There are only 2 pics of me from when I was a child, one at the age of 2 and the other at 3.5 (you can't see my face, but I know it's me) I hold on tight to those two pics, because every once in a while, I look at them and remember that at one time, I was very precious to someone, enough so that they took a picture of me. I don't know why, but that's very important to me. That's why when my younger brother and sister were growing up, I snapped so many pics of them growing up and made them special photo albums to cherish and hand down to their children.
Now, I love to look at old pictures, of people I don't even know. I love to look at childhood happiness, the more difficult but simpler ways of life back then.
I love this pic, Susan. The giddiness and good times they must have shared. I can almost hear their sweet voices chatting away, the rustling of their dresses, their giggles.
Good Morning Susan, Seren! I must admit that when I first looked at this photograph, I did not click on it to get the bigger, better, clearer view. I don't know why I always forget this? Susan, I would really like to know where you got this picture? Can you please share the information? I hope your having a super day!
Seren, It is very sad that you do not have more than two photos of yourself. And to turn it around by making sure others have photos is just the kind of thing I am talking about with you. You have such a great learning spirit! : )
My thoughts are, sure, there may not be much to say that I was here, but if something I do can help someone to leave their little mark on the world for a while after we are gone, then I will do it. Because, the truth is, once I am gone and all of those who know me are gone, it really will be like I never existed at all.
I think I'm gonna go work on my basket quilt for an hour before I bank the fire and turn in for the night.
Have a wonderful evening everyone
Pardon me Susan, Seren....While you are here your spirit is forever learning. In return you are teaching, contributing and healing many other spirits. Your lessons live on for the next spirit to continue the message and to continue to learn...years of recycle with the same qualities but a different form at an attempt to heal those parts of you, that never got a chance to be healed in this life time. I'm sorry if this sounds whacky to anyone but it is my belief.
Your messages live on, your kindness, compassion...so much more and yes, your pain too, if it has not been truly healed in this lifetime.
Sometimes, it takes many lifetimes and sometimes it does not, or it has been recycled many, many times already. You are doing a great service to your spirit and many more that will out-live you.. but are you. You will always exist eternally. Do you believe in life after death? (re-incarnation)
God bless.
I do believe in reincarnation.. I do remember small pieces of past lives, always have. It's just that, sometimes, I feel for all that I have tried to do, that it hasn't been enough and that those things I have done, won't be remembered.
They will always be remembered by the next spirit (your deeds)because that part of the spirit was healed by YOU.
In other words, you will not come back as someone who does not take the time to photograph their children...you will come back as the person who is photograped often or does photograph your children often.
That is a tiny example of what will make up your next spirit. You did not receive, therefore, you knew to give....you learned, "positively" from your experience. Therefore, you will receive in your next lifetime, or this one still. It will ALWAYS be remembered, please believe that, if you believe in re-incarnation...what would then be the purpose of the reincarnation dear?
You have a wonderful evening Serenity...your deeds will never go unrecognized...never.Please, believe that....that is another key.IMHO
Good Morning!
All I know is, almost a half year ago, I met several souls who were not afraid to expose their pain...lets say, to the light of day.
I was in a hole and they gave me a hand up. Along came a little cricket singing about dreams coming true. They all helped me trust again. How could I have made it through alone?
Good mornin Susan, The very first thing I thought of when I read your comment was this:
When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone…
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone…
You'll never walk alone.
I believe in dreams.. Dreams are what keep me holding on, even though there are times that I'd much rather let go of the line.
Don't worry, I'm not on a downer, just deep in thought and reflection of who I am, why I am and who I have become.
I'm glad that you are out of that hole, Susan. Life wants you to be happy, and sent you ones to lift you to the light and give you hope.
: )
prayers to all of us!
Feeling better this morning, and as I reread all your thoughts, they make me stand up a little strighter, and breath a little deeper.
Jiminy, I haven't thought of that song in years, those are good words for a Walksfar to remember.
Thank you both for shareing your energy.
I've been looking for that lost&found old photo site, no luck as yet.
You two have a delightful morning, I am, but I'm just going slow:)
