    Finding Joy In a Messed Up World

    I’ve stopped watching the news. It is a litany of negativity – so I am turning my mind to other places.  I think this quote from Helen Keller is apt today. “Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.” Do you see the irony?

    The Little Things

    Maybe it’s my imagination…but the interactions I have shared with strangers in the past days have been so kind and thoughtful. It is the antithesis of some of the outbursts I’ve seen online.

    In the Night

    It’s that time of shifting shadows, walking dreams and whispers of the heart. Not fully awake. Not really asleep. That’s where I was…with the kind of awareness that gets blotted out by too much noise, devices or the duties and demands of the day. There were fragments of regret, suspended and suppressed longings. Mostly there was a sense of trust…
