this is my favorite flag,
it does not exclude, or leave anyone out.
i had mended the old one until it frayed and faded into oblivion.
last week i ordered a new one, had it shipped to our vermont address
and found it waiting in the breezeway when i arrived this afternoon.
i set henry free from his travel carrier, unpacked the car,
put the contents of the cooler in the fridge,
turned on the water and hung the new flag with a sense of anticipation.
i am here.
breathing deeply and anticipating a summer of possibilities.
how about you?
Good to see you settled in VT for a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your flag and think I'll have to order one for our ridge meadow farm. I've always wanted a flag to fly but I'm not quite comfortable with any with political overtones. I had thought of a quilt block, but we're having one commissioned, painted on wood, to hang on the potting shed since we don't have a barn for it. The Earth from space flag couldn't be more perfect as I am striving daily to be the best possible steward of my own bit of earth and if I need a reminder all I need do is look up.
Breathe deeply daily and let your whole being expand. Life is good.
We fly that flag at UCH as a recognition of our green sanctuary certification. Nice to see its twin flying free in Vt!
