Water Lily

WATER LILY reflections..... unfolding from your silken-white hands send mirrors of yellow peace gently nourishing those who seek healing upon arrival at your shores

James M. Goff, You have chosen a beautiful favorite flower. And I do believe that Monet would enjoy reading your delightful words were he still here. (Maybe he's looking over my shoulder from the spirit world!!! ) Good luck in Brian's contest. Always, DAS-J

Absolutely beautiful, James! I never thought of the water lilies as "silken-white hands" before, and I love the way you allow them to nourish those who find these floating treasures. (Still in the process of moving, but was suffering Soup withdrawal so I had to visit.) Love, Carolyn
