August #Reverb Prompt

Describe an unexpected moment, activity, sighting or conversation that touched you during July.

Sighting: Yes. That would be the word for the thing I saw this summer.

 

This thing I saw that might you lead you to believe my cheese has slid right off my cracker.

 

This thing I saw on a really bad day, when the whole world was upside down and inside out.

 

This thing I saw, even though I’m not really religious at all. Even though this year I sorta stuck my toes in those waters.

 

This thing I saw leaning up against an old fence down the street, that I might have almost missed … but I didn’t.

 

This thing I saw that reminded me of Kelly Cutrone and what she says about the Universal Mother.*

 

This thing I saw that stared back at me and stopped me in my tracks.

 

This thing that I saw on my way home, that when, still unbelieving I went back, it was already gone. This thing that was there long enough just for me to see it and know it was there.

*"I can't really explain the Universal Mother in words ... no alphabet will do her justice, though people have tried over time: Mexicans call her Guadeloupe, the Christians call her Mary, the Egyptians call her Cleopatra, the Greeks call her Athena, the Buddhists call her Tara, and the Hindus call her by several names, from Laksmi to Durga." -- Kelly Cutrone, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside

@Dragonfly--Me too, and I'm especially glad I had my camera with me!

OH. My GOODNESS.

This is phenomenal. And your cheese is right where it's supposed to be.
