Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Internal Compass

I seek strong feelings

outside me

Looking for spectacular moments

So stunning

I have no way to deny

how perfect it is

Or I hope and ask

and dream

of someone else

telling me

“This is right”

BUT

they’ve been wrong

and only this internal compass

the one inside

that whispers

and guides

The one that can be

bursts of brilliant colors

or just a quiet afternoon

on a blue sky day

Inside has always guided me

Inside has always known

but trusting that is still hard

Trusting that takes time

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.
