There are still just so many beautiful things.
It’s so easy to overlook them.
I know the avalanche is still gathering more debris to bring down on us and will create even more havoc. I know.
Destruction will occur. People will (are dying). I know.
The landscape won’t look the same. Nor should it.
A new world is emerging out of the wreckage though not everyone can yet see.
Still.
It’s raining and still dark outside.
A candle burns on my bedside table.
The stirrings of humans starting a new day hums in the background.
I don’t always wake up feeling grateful.
But I did today. It’s as if, I can’t not see all the things there are to cherish.
The air - humid and cooler - is luscious.
The candle flickers in sync it seems with the gentle rain - a dance of sound and light - I’m privy to.
How incredibly beautiful.
Even with the world falling apart. I don’t want to miss the beauty. (Ominous sounding thunder weighs in, in agreement.(
And since we’re in for the long-haul, it’s probably a good idea to fortify ourselves regularly - beauty does that.
Which reminds, Katherine Hunt does a stack on just that subject. I look forward to seeing what visual beauty she captures and shares, daily.
I wonder why it feels so vulnerable to share this post?
I don’t know but I’m going to anyway.
Happy Tuesday.
Dearest Kathleen. You have no idea how much I needed this. Especially on this rainy, dark morning. God bless you. 😘❤️
Thank you for writing this beautiful and thoughtful post. There is so much doom and gloom in the world right now, it's sometimes hard to remember that there is still so much beauty out there if we look for it.
