Grace happens...and will be forever remembered.

Fun surprise interruptions.

Give yourself the benefit of the doubt.

LOVE
 
Love never grows old,
Its truth
Extends to the edge of misery
It thrives not alone,
Withstanding
Both absence and time
 
If in doubt
Witness that 
LOVE
Virtually returns
And gives an unconditional sweetness
Without shame
 
For it is always alive
And blushing
Like every fresh beginning.

THE RAIN MUST FALL
 
My mind dwells among cobwebs
Guarding the dust of yesterday
I cannot see the flowers bloom
Or birds fly
Or seeds push
Their way out of darkness
Filled with pain
My thoughts deny the promise of hope


Then the rain fell
Washing away my illusions
Clearing and renewing
The breath of the day

The sun returns
Bringing the assurance of light
Released from my tears of yesterday
I welcome the promise of today
The laws of the universe
Are held in the hands of “Grace”
Guiding me…
Toward the unfolding truth.

YELLOW
 
This stunning cactus
Declares her strength
Covering her yellow exterior
With prickly needles
 
Showing us
As many things in life…
We may
Look and admire
But never try to touch.
