Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Love Pierces Through

Those that should have out lived you

have passed from this world

The vibrant and young

grow sick

the pure in heart

face betrayal and brokenness

The innocent

flung into chaos

There is an ache to living

one that holds contradictions

and injustices

what hope can there be

with such unfair rules

plaguing this earth

without One light

We’d have only

darkness

Left behind

would be a string of questions

without answers

Even now

there are few answers

but One holds strong

One shines bright

That is Love

Love that holds

through the night

Love that lays down it’s life

Love that soars on wings of eagles

and Love that dawns

bringing with it

songs of hope

and resurrection life

Yes

This world is cruel

there is confusion

pain

there is much to question

But there is One answer

which covers it all

if you know it

it will keep you

until the very end

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.
