“I think joy and sweetness and affection are a spiritual path.
We’re here to know God, to love and serve God,
and to be blown away by the beauty and miracle of nature.
and to be blown away by the beauty and miracle of nature.
You just have to get rid of so much baggage to be light enough to dance,
to sing, to play. You don’t have time to carry grudges;
you don’t have time to cling to the need to be right.”

This morning’s bright and sunny light is helping my aching spirits.
Those birds listening in to the whistling wind, were striking a pose.
Small tidbits of normal are what I need now to get back afloat.
Walking with my camera sure is helping me feel normal.
Small treasures are found everywhere, I just need to get back into it 🙂

This *is* the best way out of darkness, dear Anyes: simply starting the walk toward whatever light is visible.

You see how Annie was right… the sun came out! If life wasn't a roller coaster we would complain that the ride wasn't funny enough. The thing is sometimes we feel like holding up our arms in the air and let go and sometimes we feel like hanging on to the bars of fear… Have faith 🙂
