“……and we received healing as we heard the berry pickers far away!”
As Cuddles and Jitters patted and tapped on Spottedy chest
And the old goat began to breath easy under such touchy blessings
Ministering friends and healing Goat all heard humming in crest
O’er the near hills twixt healing bed and dark pits of dire stressings.
“What ye hear? what dat humming? So far, yet so near!”
Did Spottedy and healers all whispery-whistle as one.
“Shush, shush, dis hummin’ pours wellness into my bier,”
Did Spottedy caution healing friends in smiling tone.
“Ah, ah, now I haves it!” did spark up Jitters as he danced.
“Now I smell the drift of berry juice all drippin’ in the hums!”
“Dose foragin’ friends under Old Crow has founds foods so scanced!”
Thus did small smells and hums bring new hope to these tums.

Quite often, hope comes in very “cute” packages, ChristyB!

Ah, and I was pickin wild berries myself just a few weeks ago! Daisy deer ate all of my blackberries this year! Smackdillyishous!
Jul 28, 2012 @ 23:05:27
Wonderful what a variety of blessings we receive with interactions with wild berries, right?
Jul 26, 2012 @ 20:04:58
Ah the ‘berry pickers” they sound of harvest do indeed bring healing!
Jul 28, 2012 @ 23:05:51
Berry picking every day with you, Bishop!
Jul 26, 2012 @ 22:25:26
Uplifting and sweet… You’ve mastered this lingo GranBee! 🙂 BTW, Twitter.com still shows up as your URL on my posts. Kinda odd and it happens with another blogger too.
Jul 28, 2012 @ 23:07:48
I have NO IDEA why my URL is not showing up correctly on my gravatars when commenting on your posts! Whenever I double-check them, they show up correctly, no matter which computer or internet connection I am using! Do you think you have a virus? Anyway, so very pleased you enjoyed this post!

For someone like me, born and brought up in the urban settings, listening to such melodious way of creating the unity with the work, could happen through some excellent pieces that music directors have used [ in hindi films].
These pieces were probably meant to break the monotony of the work or to develop camaraderie, but ultimately have risen to the level of a prayer to worship your work.
Wish I could lay hands [ or should it be ears, really] to such tunes /songs !
Jul 28, 2012 @ 23:09:30
I am so very honored, Ashok, that you hear these wonderful tunes when reading my posts here! Thank you most sincerely!
Jul 29, 2012 @ 00:45:12
Pleasure was indeed mine, since I immediately reached seventh heaven on those wonderfully enchanting tunes…..
Jul 31, 2012 @ 03:48:43
Enchanted right along with you, Ashok!
Jul 27, 2012 @ 14:16:28
My heart continue to sing with gladness and inspiration. Thank you, granbee for shining the light on the path ~~ you are an awesome blessing through these delightful characters!! 😀

In my return visit — I suddenly have an envie (“ahnvee”) for some berry dumplings … I must rummage in the freezer to see if I have any!!! 😀
Aug 15, 2012 @ 03:11:39
Berry dumplings? You lucky lady!
Aug 15, 2012 @ 03:16:30
Have to find some first!! 😉
Aug 15, 2012 @ 03:17:39
Find enough for two, okay?
Jul 27, 2012 @ 18:51:47
The berries are a-coming and the juice is gonna be sweet.
Jul 28, 2012 @ 23:10:38
Sweet, sweet spirits and sweet, sweet berries, indeed, Tots!
Jul 28, 2012 @ 09:18:08
When I read this I see Beatrix Potter drawings. I could see the color of the juice! you have such a great imagination and command of language.
Jul 28, 2012 @ 23:11:27

Aug 01, 2012 @ 04:52:51
“What da drumming?” I now hear the drumming, and boy is it a good feeling! You have an awesome way with words, Granbee 🙂
Aug 04, 2012 @ 22:25:19
So wonderful that we are marching to the same drummer, Margaret!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 22:23:08
Hi Rose, I lost time last week, so sorry for this late comment! Please know I’ll see you soon, even if late! Anyway, you have to assume your first two lines would draw me in:
“As Cuddles and Jitters patted and tapped on Spottedy chest
And the old goat began to breath easy under such touchy blessings”
(Loved touchy blessings)
I was so happy to see Cuddles and Jitters and your language, again, is delightful and adorable. I just love it, along with this line:“Now I smell the drift of berry juice all drippin’ in the hums!” All of your lines are wonderful, but these jumped out at me and we’ve been eating so many berries, that this poem was absolutely delicious! Not to mention, the hope it conveys~Thank you and hope you’re doing well! Hugs!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 22:26:42
Yes, the berries in summe are so very refreshing–healing us from much “heat”, right? So very pleased you enjoyed my staging of your Cuddles again here! Always glad to have your feedback, no matter when and where!
Aug 05, 2012 @ 20:31:34
Here’s to happy times in the berry patch! I’d be joy-filled too 🙂 I remember as a child being able to find a berry patch (wild strawberries and blackberries) just by the smell on the air. I ate more than I put into my bucket! There’s something about fresh berries that make you feel better, making for a happy day. Love this granbee!
Aug 08, 2012 @ 02:59:34
Berries really do heal, don’t they?
Aug 07, 2012 @ 01:50:26
Such gratefulness and hope … abundance is there … only at the distance it takes to believe and partake in it! Blessings to you, Rose!
Aug 08, 2012 @ 03:00:06
Believing even from a great distance–such a berryful blessing!
