Thoughts of peace and joy

The morning mist softens the horizon. Mountain peaks hide beneath thick layers of transparent fog. Though the reoccurring and endless waves hit over and over on sandy beaches, only the sound of the pounding waves can be heard.

It is a mystery beyond the sandy reef. If it were not for the sound it would not be known that the waves break secretly only footsteps away.

Clusters of tiny morning birds sing praise to the day, swooping and darting in graceful patterns, then landing one by one. A game of follow the leader, it seems to be.
As the dampness lifts little yellow flowers poke through the now obvious hillside. The quiet enfolds me in a rush of peace and calm.

As the sun breaks into song the horizon is visible with the water’s movement. Shining like brilliant diamonds the waves break louder now against the shoreline.

How can we not be joyous when the beauty of this earth still can be seen. My friends, be mindful of this beauty and grateful to be able to enjoy it.

For those who are not able, for whatever reason, to seek this beauty, close your eyes and visualize it. Our minds can take us anywhere we choose.
Take a breath. I hope the photos transport you to a place of beauty and peace.

There is more than meets the eyes…..

I love you and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

I am sending you a very blue sky and the whitest of clouds, forming. I looked up and the blue was so blue, and the white so white, I couldn’t resist taking a picture. (and if this isn’t poetry in
our visions, I don’t know what is!

The sky doesn’t always look like this.

Enjoy! I think the people in the parking lot outside the stores thought I was nuts. One day I stopped and looked up at a group of Canadian geese flying by. When they were out of sight I began to focus on earthly things, and a huge group of people had spotted me looking up and had stopped to see the geese, as well.

It was fun and we all smiled and went our separate ways! Seek the beautiful things that are gifts and often taken for granted! Have a wonderful day!

Unknown author verses thoughts

I see God in everything.

When the immense waves of water dance onto the shore, and the the echo of crashing waves sing loudly in my ears. When a child laughs and wiggles his toes in the cool sand. When the gulls fly circular celebrating the air currents and they swiftly dart around each other.

I see God.

When a puppy is born. When a child learns to make those first independent steps towards someone. When mama looks at me from the face of an elderly woman who has loved me all my days, and she loves me still, even after all my folly.

I see God.

We seek self-realization . We seek joy. Seek God first and He will fill your every need and desire. Give love to Him and your love will abound, and you will see God too.
