Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Lost Connections

If beauty is connection

is there any beauty left when connection is lost?

But connections do get lost

they always do

It is part of life

People love you

People hate you

People change

People leave

and naturally

you do all that too

So how do you live in the light when it is all gone?

Perhaps like most plants

one can grow

and reach

and creep through

and stretch

to find the light again

Never stopping

always trying

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.
