Sophia Said – 5

Posted on by maskednative.com

Sophia said do not try, be still, sometimes that is enough.Our Lady of Medjugore

Curtains still drawn.
The soft glow of a spot-lamp on the old oak table.
A cafetiere of fresh coffee on the little blue tray,
printed withVan Gogh’s beautiful Almond Tree blossom.
Books on shelves and all kinds of loved objects nearby.
Objects of stillness.
No question, suggestions, to being where they are.
rooted wherever I place them.
I listen for Sophia’s wisdom,
but she too is quiet.
No sudden revelation, or shock of recognition.
No fleeting glimpse of that ‘Other’ that exists alongside our reality.
In this stillness, I acknowledge the wisdom Sophia brought to me,
giving gratitude for adoration and play.
In response to the 5 day photo/story challenge from suedreamwalker check out her lovely blog, I accept this writing challenge and hope my efforts are worthy of Sophia’s wisdom.

My nomination for this fifth and last photo challenge is Virgilio Gavia@ gaviafamily.com

Here are the rules for the “Five Photos Five Stories” challenge: “Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge.
(Sporadic posting is alright if you’re unable to post each day

  6. I have loved all of these posts. There has been something so very reminiscent of my childhood and an elderly aunt and uncle who lived two doors down from us. Though they live in eternal silence now, their voices and wisdom speak to life still. Thank you for sharing this and for doing the challenge. You did a splendid job with it. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤

    1. Thank you so much Sue, you are very kind to think of me, I do appreciate it, and especially today, `i came home to find my cat of 15 years has died. It’s another ending, I am sad but
      strangely, your comment came with my post of Sophia -5 , the last two lines a summing up of how I feel, a comfort.
      Thank you again, my dear friend. I wish you well too x
