Dormant - like my heart - waiting anew

My soul, sit thou a patient looker-on; Judge not the play before the play is done: Her plot hath many changes; every day Speaks a new scene; the last act crowns the play.
~Francis Quarles

Lots of dormant activity hiding underneath the ground - it will flourish and bloom eventually! You?

[Annie D]

@maggiemae the next life :)

[Maggiemae]

You just might be surprised!

[Annie D]

@maggiemae yes Maggiemae I may be :)

[Babs]

Nice shot and lovely words. @maggiemae Maggie is right, not in the next life Annie, don't rule out this life, you could be in for a big surprise.

[Gena Pegg]

I'm with them Annie! It will happen when you least expect it! Lovely image.

[john morley]

at the end of the day Annie you have us, Soulfull shot and words

[Beryl Lloyd]

Nice shot and poignant words Annie , -- perhaps a sad time remembering twelve months ago -- but you never know what will happen in the next year or so ! -- put on a brave face and keep smiling ! xx

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Hang on in there Annie. I know this will be a very sad week for you.

[Annie D]

@onewing @eyesmile @jack4john @beryl @shepherdmanswife
ahhh such kind and thoughtful people - your comments and kind words are much appreciated - thank you

[Sheralee S]

I hope your heart finds spring again Annie. I hope the bonsai does too :)

[Annie D]

@bella_ss I will post when it does :)

[Sam]

Tough week. Tough lady. Tough love. Life is tough. You are too gorgeous to think of the next life. Think of being in the now!

[Dione Giorgio]

I must have missed something here, Annie. Hope you keep your spirits up - even the bad things will not last forever.

[Annie D]

@gigiflower oh I do Miss Sam - I just know and can feel the waiting - it's ok - just a bit overwhelming sometimes

[Annie D]

@sangwann thank you Dione - I try to always keep my spirits up - sometimes I just need to express my emotions through photos - I lost a very special person almost a year ago - many here on 365 knew him too

[Sam]

@annied Yep, I know that feeling sort of. It wanes, comes and goes.....sometimes takes my breath away. But I know I'm surrounded by love even if they aren't there in the physical world xxxx

[Annie D]

@gigiflower that is it - always around me

[Rachel]

A really sad time for you, and I'm sending virtual hugs. Don't let this life slide past. You can do anything.

[Annie D]

@888rachel oh I won't - just gave to figure out where I am headed

[Paul J]

Very poignant Annie. Nice.

[Francoise]

oy, every bonsai I have ever had has gone so dormant it never came back. I'm hope that your image has more life than my poor plants.

[Yao RL]

Need my magic touch.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

And sometimes the winter is a good thing as it stores up energy for the burst of activity in Spring. Good thought and picture!

[Krista Marson]

zen.

[Call me Joe]

[Osia Strasner]

You have way too much life in you to wait for the next one! Hang in there...

[Annie D]

[Kathie]

Ready to spring to life.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@annied This is the hardest time of year for that- not warm enough yet and still wintery enough for snow! Ugh!!!!
