smiles form the channel
of a future tear
Lord Byron
the dew of compassion
is a tear
Lord Byron
the dew was heavy
this morning
the Lord's mercies
are new every morning
His compassion never fails
His compassion never fails

"Compassion is sometimes
the fatal capacity for feeling what
it is like to live inside somebody else's skin.
It is the knowledge that there can never really be
any peace and joy for me until there is
peace and joy
finally for you too."
Frederick Buechner

I love the pictures, I love the quotes!! The Byron quote fits so perfectly here, and I love the Buechner quote, it is truly brilliant!!! I may use it at church.
numbers 2 and 5 are my favorites. these are really beautiful...
Pretty coneflower photos, Susan. God bless your day.
Buechner often gets to the heart of things, doesn't he? Thank you for being willing to open your heart to that "fatal capacity."
As another day draws to a close here in Ireland, we ask the Lord for a blessed day tomorrow full of peace and compassion in abundance.
Beautiful images.I am so thankful that God's mercies are new every morning.
Such wonderful images, imagery and words, Susan. I like the idea of dew being the compassion of the Lord made visible to us through nature. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
Beautiful Post! I always love stopping by for a visit here :)
Gosh, so pretty, I love rain drops and I love coneflowers so this is a perfect post.
I think coneflowers are stunning.
Each of these is just magical, Susan!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Such lovely pictures of this beautiful flower.....and words!
These photos are just stunning, the post, beautiful!
I was channeling my inner Susan a week ago- trying to capture the rain dripping from some wild flowers as you do. But these, Susan, are so utterly beautiful. I marvel at your artistic talents and know I just need to keep working and trying :) It seems those photos were meant for those words! Thank you!
Gorgeous, it's one of my favorites!! Have a wonderful weekend Susan!!
those words and images
move me to tears today;
thank you dear Susan
for the beauty that you share
(that you are)
-Jennifer

Beautiful!
And it has been very "dewful" here in the last few days. Everything looks a bit differently than not long ago. Flowers are "loverly" for you, though.
The pink color is so pretty. Love the drops of water.
