Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Unfamiliar Landscape

This is an unfamiliar landscape

and there will be moments

that remind you

of dangers passed

It is ok if your heart beats faster

If you want to hide

because you see a marker

that looks similar to one in that time

As you walk

you will see

this land is different

but most of all

You are all together

changed

In a way that makes this

unfamiliar land

scary

but safe

You are protected

But it takes time

to gather evidence

it takes time and trails

to walk the land

to find your way

to carve a new path

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
