Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Find that Little Girl Again

I’ve got to find

that little girl again

The one swept up by dreams

and imaginings

The one told to come back

down to earth

and feel differently

She understood how to live

She felt deeply

She saw vibrant colors

and beauty

She danced to her own tune

She was magic

I’m searching for you

little one

I’m bringing you back

to dance and sing more

to write the craziest stories

to get lost in the beauty

of thought and dreams

because when I see you

my face brightens

life holds joy

and I dance in the storms

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.
