There it was …
Flying, then
Landing, then
Fluttering off
Until back again
Alighting on the unnamed flower
Floating away again
Only returning again
Finally taking a sip
What an interesting creation
Full of unexpected delight

Into something new and unknown
Mysterious yet intriguing
Planted, nurtured not fully grown

Sometimes…

Dark October Days
Fall days...
Gray
Dark, dreary
Damp, murky
Pervasive gloom
Yet…
In the midst of lurking gray,
dark, dreary, damp,
murky and pervasive gloom
There is still
Penetrating Light
Subtle splashes of color
Magical displays of wonder
Nudging us to remember
That delight and hope and love remain
Amid Autumn Days
A Day at The Beach
It’s October…
It’s’ windy, rainy
There’s a chill in the air.
Yet…
It’s a good day to go to the beach!
Unexpected Delight
Today’s Gift
Thoughts While on a Foggy Walk
I knew where I was going.
I wasn’t lost.
My destination was secure.
However…
In the fog
There was uncertainty
About what waited ahead
Perhaps…
Something dreaded?
Something delightful?
Something unexpected?
Not to worry…
I know where I am going.
I am not lost.
My destination is secure.
Walk as Children of Light
