Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Humanity Should not Look Like Me

Humanity should not look

only like me

The faces of humanity

should be

so varying

it is stunning

in its colors

like a flock of tropical birds

I want to

look at humanity

and see

laugh lines

outrageous clothes

stubble

browns and tans

wrinkles

eyes of chocolate

eyes of oceans

I want to see

worship of different kinds

love of different colors

Humanity should not look

just like me

for when it does

we lose the joy of life

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.
