I often post a picture with no words for Wordless Wednesday,
a "linky party" of images that need no words.
It might be a picture like this one of a bluebird perched in a tree in my garden.
He speaks of happiness and Spring and hope.
Or this one of the dandelion in my garden this morning, reminding me of
childhood days, blowing dandelion puffs and making wishes.
Or this one of rose buds, shedding tears of morning dew -
mixing messages of beauty, joy, and sorrow.
I might post this photo of the Adirondack chairs in their new location, calling to me to sit
with a cool drink while I watch the birds at the feeders.
Or the photo of the pentstemon dancing by the birdbath, suggesting I join them in
stretching out my arms and twirling through the grass.
But there are times when I am wordless, not because no words are
necessary but because I am bereft of them.
There are times when I am hungry for words and have none.
When I long to speak my heart but don't know how.
God, there are moments when we do not know what to say, so we come to just sit with you.
Stay with us and hold us close. Amen.

Stay with us and hold us close. Amen.
....And Amen.
I'm with Cat: so beautifully poetic.
And I'd love to sit in your backyard with you and just adore the birds and all the surrounding glory in Ginny's garden. Paradise!
I am not sure I have the words to comment on this lovely post..suffice it to say---beautiful!! Thanks Ginny
A beautiful, and very eloquently written post Ginny.
I sure wish I could get some bluebirds here, though I guess I'm not close enough to an open field, and a fuzz too close to built up city / houses.
Ahhhhh. . . . .the Bluebird of happiness! Love all the pics!!
Such a lovely post. The roses and the bluebird are gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing your pictures along with such beautiful words.
A lovely post, thank you.
I saw where you asked on Blotanical about questions in comments. If someone asks me a question or their comment really needs to be addressed, I try to get to their blog to answer.
If I ask a question, I sometimes subscribe to comments until I see if there is an answer. It isn't difficult to unsubscribe.
I came to check if I had somehow missed your GBBD post. I hope all is well with you?
Love this! Your words are as beautiful as your pictures.
