Bare

A bare wall before life adorns it (rgbstock.com).

I stare at today's bare screen and think that once again today's word at Five Minute Friday was just for me.

Bare.

The blank white wall before color and pictures adorn it.  

Bare before beauty.

The state of all who are born physically and spiritually.  

Bare before the Maker.

My heart as I lose another friend from my chemo days to cancer this week, yet she is in a better healed place. 

{How long before I remove her from my Facebook list 

because the reminder lays me bare?  

She was a faithful and 

encouraging commenter here and on FB.  

I will miss Maude.}

Bare from loss.

The color of the Tennessee sky today as I begin packing up to leave my tenure of caring for my recuperating sweet Sister and return to the embraces of my sweet Husband. 

Bare nature.

Bare time alone in the car on the trip home as I wonder how Sister is doing without me and how Husband is preparing for my return.  

Bare time alone between embraces.

Bare.

I can barely write more.  Time is up.

I'm baring my soul with others today at
