Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Our Sycamore Tree

Sitting on the bench with you

looking up

Arms around each other

She stretches above us

white trunk and branches

reaching out

teaching us to wonder

while giving us her shelter

Today her leaves

are a mix

of oranges, yellows, and browns

She is enchanting

and every moment

with you on this bench

under her shelter

is enchanting too

There’s something about this Sycamore tree

and the bench

and this place

It could be you

me

us

or the tree

I just know I’m grateful

every time

I’m with you

by the Sycamore Tree

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.
