crimson on white
I see a lot of Queen Anne’s Lace when I’m out walking,
and I’ve wondered why I see a dark spot on some.
A closer look reveals it is actually a minuscule flower –
a drop of crimson placed in the center of bridal white.
blackberries
Earth’s crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes –
The rest sit around it and pluck blackberries.
~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
wings
If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
~ Psalm 139:9-10
becoming
It’s never too late to stretch beyond your restraints
and become the brilliance you were created to be.
aspens
On my Rockies road-trip I met these tall silent sentinels
– keepers of the forest, guarding the mountain paths.
Their feet were dirty but their hearts were glowing,
standing proud of their place in Creation.
Mt Rundle
I was blessed with a short vacation spent with dear friends in Alberta.
We took a sightseeing road-trip through the Rockies, dodging rain and elk along the way.
No photo can convey the incredible beauty we enjoyed, but here’s my meager offering:
liquid gold
At first glance this was a rather drab trickle of water
until I stepped closer, changing my viewpoint, and suddenly it changed into liquid gold.
What it was reflecting made all the difference …
newborn bliss
My niece is wildly delighted to hold her 1 month old little brother!
I spent 4 days visiting them and experienced newborn bliss for myself.
Newborns are so tiny and soft and cuddly and perfect and wonderful.
I highly recommend holding one – it’s absolutely therapeutic.
