However, seeing the stack of items to be stored starts them swirling like a kaleidoscope: the music, the books... a world being left behind, but also the possibilities of a new world in springtime leaving me gapeseed... The imagery here is amazing, Tess. And the metaphor of the kaleidoscope for seasonal change is exquisite. ♥Margaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-72648808917123086282011-04-30T17:38:19.332-04:002011-04-30T17:38:19.332-04:00A fine shakedown of shapes and colours here, Tess....A fine shakedown of shapes and colours here, Tess.
