    Love this, Janice...I love driftwood, we had a lovely piece in our living room growing up and my mother placed a skinny birch with branches...we would decorate with different coloured trinkets depending on the occasion...green for St Patrick's Day, red for Valentine's, and so on.

      I have two pieces from Kananiskis Country, Alberta. A third small piece from a trip to Washington state in the early 1970's. That one has rocks I picked up from the same area glued to it.

      I love the way you have conveyed the power and the vulnerability of driftwood.

Carpe Diem Theme Week #4 (5 & 6): Latifa Prayer lines 4 & 5 "I believe and I trust" & "I let go" Introduction: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Both lines are in the middle of the Latifa Prayer and that's no coincidence I think, because these two lines belong (in a way) together.  To "let go", you have to "believe and trust" that it will become okay. Without believe and trust you cannot let go. my response - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Have you ever done one of those team building exercises?  You know where you close your eyes and fall backwards into the waiting arms of the other members?  We did this with a group of kids we sponsored.  It went fine and no one hit the floor.  In my insane mind I decided to just randomly fall into my husbands arms.  He always caught me.  We were in our twenties at the time.  While visiting with our neighbors on their patio, once more I fell into my husband's waiting arms. ...

Carpe Diem's Theme Week 4: (1) Latifa Prayer, introduction This is a theme week at CDHK, Our host will guide us to explore the Latifa Prayer.  The following is the prayer.
