MAM Day Twenty Two – Seeds of Hope

Look what I found in my breakfast apple –

Never found a sprouted seed in an apple before… an avocado, yes, but an apple?

Maybe I’ll plant it by Momo’s grave. Her body will provide it with nourishment and the tree will provide nourishment for us.

Seed and seed pod bouquet
Garlic and Lilac, Rudbeckia and Milkweed, Iris and Mallow and Potentilla too.
Collage of sketches I made of seed holders:
Sensitive Fern, Milkweed, Poppy, Figwort, and the name of the last one I forgot to jot down.

Here’s an Emily Dickinson Poem I always liked about hope:

“Hope is the thing with feathers”

BY EMILY DICKINSON

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me
Assemblage inspired by the poem

Here’s another “Hope” poem of a different sort:

Hope

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

Sometimes when I’m lonely,
Don’t know why,
Keep thinkin’ I won’t be lonely
By and by.

Wishing you a peaceful day full of hope.
