Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Always a Rose

The flowers are out again

I can’t help but see

they struggled too

and waited

slept

retreated into darkness

They changed

transformed

and hid

But look at them

no less beautiful

Different than they were

the year before

yet still

a daffodil

or rose

lily

or tulip

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.
