We know there are cracks
they lead to despair
but your underlying courage
makes me glad you are there
for the beauty you hold
fragrant like the rose
gives so much hope
refugees hands that you hold
I’m writing this for friends in Ukraine who had the option to leave Ukraine but stayed to help others. Heroic, loving and beautiful even as the cracks deepen.
beauty is always changing
bold colour, broad lines
expect the unexpected
a raindrop fills your hands
smiles big as the horizon
and I wonder
why I ever leave
walk these halls
resonant voices of the past
empty now
I found this one day when I was operating the elevator in the Smithsonian. I wanted to explore but I had to let my camera do what I could not.
Thanks City Sonnet for the month long challenge. Today’s prompt “narrow”
she wondered
which had she lost
first…
Wishing all of you a gruesome day

I felt so big
then I opened my eyes
a wheel so large
it touched the sky
pebbles
called sand
sift
through my hand
I sang a song
the trees sang along
my teachers
and I
we made
lemonade
Remember back to when the clouds were so puffy you believed they were cotton balls or better yet cotton candy. Too soon we lose the wonder of the beauty of life and we are often left with bent perspectives. Blue is now grey and a smile is a frown. Teaching keeps the heart young and bubbly all because of … The child

If you can Thank A Teacher today on World Teachers Day 2020, they bring awareness and light to the mind of a child.
Bolted inside
external signs of wear
no key to find
Looked over my shoulder to yesterday
time passed in the blink of an eye
the people and memories faded
I never bid them goodbye
I look to the left on this day
all that there is to do
wrap arms around you dear
memory’s time, make a few
I look at the road laid before me
tomorrow’s a wide open land
promise me you will go with me
orange love covers our hands
The unedited photo of Northern Uganda shows a panorama that is rich with children, mamas, papas, grandmothers, grandfathers.
deep in thought
too many lives to count
wings of gratitude
Thankful for lives that have made the sacrifice for freedom. Please enjoy more of Steven Slack's work here.
yesterday's memories grasped at forever's horizon
it’s amazing what six words can do.
Check out My Random Ramblings and this is the Saturday Six Word Story (6WSP) Prompt “Forever”. where six words tell powerful stories.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
