Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Consider the Flowers

What is a flower

But beauty in stillness

In pointing at the sun

And receiving its fullness

If it spoke a word

It would make no difference

On the measure of its worth

It remains magnificent

If it were to dance

There would be no change

It would still inspire romance

On its quiet stage

Nothing it could do

Could remove its name

Once a flower by birth

It remains the same

And the stiller that it is

And the more it looks above

What others see in it

Will be overwhelming love

See the beauty of the flower

Does not come from being more

No

Its beauty comes from knowing

Where the source of worth comes from

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.
