Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Friendship

The truth is

Most friends and companions

In our life

Will come and go

There is a sadness in that

And also a beauty

To say goodbye is hard

But a new hello is through the next door

The letting go of one hand

Means the holding onto the next

And somehow

By God’s wonderful design

Our paths and seasons

Our parts

Our tapestries

Weave together

In a remarkable way

So that

When we look back

rather than mourn the losses

The ones who walked away

The ones we had to leave

We are grateful for them

And all they brought in that season

How they changed you

And how you changed them

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
