Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Birds Migrate

We shout out

Welcome!

Dream!

Freedom!

while barring the way

for those who need the hope of a new start

We rip apart families

because we’ve convinced ourselves

they are animals

We let birds fly back and forth

over our borders

oohing and aahing at their colors

while we spend

millions of dollars

to stop flesh and blood

suffering humans

from crossing

We should see

these precious lives

as beautiful

More so

than the birds migrating

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.
