where the deep things are


watercolor

“Feeling is deep and still; 
and the word that floats on the surface
Is as the tossing buoy, 
that betrays where the anchor is hidden.”

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  1. Gorgeous! I love the floats - I lived by the sea when I grew up and we would collect the floats like these that would make their way to the beach after breaking free from their lines. They always seem to be that special orange color - it makes me smile :)
