Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

All Paths that Lead to Love

Look at all these people

with different stories

not one alike

almost as if

God makes them

all unique

and our choices

aren’t black and white

Our choices are

our choices

freely embraced

and if they end

with brokenness

God’s got a plan

for them anyways

There’s no room for

these rules

humans are

beautiful

complex

and messy

What matters is

the faith

we have

in working through

and for

the love we have

I no longer believe

your choices are

right or wrong

We are all lead

in different ways

who am I to judge?

What I know is

when I see stories

vastly different than mine

ones that I’ve been told

are wrong

those are also

stories

where I see

the Divine

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.
