Meet Gertrude
Welcome to my new blog…
Meet Gertrude,
I taped her on the inside door of my kitchen cabinet;
the one that I open every morning to make my oatmeal.
First and most importantly,
she makes me smile.
And then, when I imagine her long giraffe neck,
I connect
with
the length
of my
own
spine.
The little knobs at the top of her head help remind me that
there’s life above me.
Her beautiful eyes engage with me,
but also include awareness of space out to the sides,
via her eyelashes.
Her ears echo that peripheral awareness
spanning the east/west-ness
of her place in space.
Where is your place in space when you wake up in the morning?
Gertrude is great! I’ve always loved giraffes and have deep respect for their courage to live with such sensitivity. Now I can look at them with new eyes, Anne, as I see them through your unique perspective. Thank you!!
Hello. Good cheer to all on this beautiful day Good luck :
