Tucked away in the gardens at Bayou Bend is a lovely waterfall that cascades down to a lower level of one of the landscaped gullies on the property. The story is that a larger fountain just above it developed a leak at some point. Rather than tear everything apart to repair the leak, they just incorporated it into another water feature and recycled the water somehow. The result was this delightful cascading trickle down to a pool flanked by two Pan-type statues. If the bench nearby were more shaded, I could sit there and listen to the water all day.
I decided that, though recently, I had allowed a few of my posts to leak some negativity, and for me, that was a good thing to do in safe quarters, it was time to move on from things that are bitter pills to swallow and about which I can do nothing. It was time move forward. I can choose not only to recognise the evil of those things, but also to take the path away from them. I can imagine being a little vulnerable right now because so much is changing, but I can also hang onto the beauty in my life - and there is a great deal of that!
