Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Like the Flow of the River

Like the flow of the river

are my feelings

Quiet and calm

slowly moving

At peace

Flowing gently over rocks

A sudden fall

makes water shift

to pouring over

Making beauty out of

a small waterfall

then soft and quiet again

So quickly

it changes

There is the sudden sound

of rushing water

moving swiftly

Too fast to wade in

Too fast to slow

Then the quiet comes again

The water fills a deeper pool

Like the flow of a river

are my feelings

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.
