Discovery ~

"It is possible at any age to discover

 a lifelong desire

 you never knew you had."

Robert Brault

*  *  *

what lies in you

awaiting discovery

?  ?  ?

Delight yourself also in the Lord,

and He shall give you

the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

In The Eye Of The Beholder ~

"She dropped her shyness like a nightgown,

  and in the liquid glare of sunlight on old boards

 she held up her hands-as if,

 in the terror of the upcoming skirmish,

 she had at last understood

  that she was beautiful.

 In her own way.”

 Gregory Maguire

Fluttered ~

 "The butterfly is a flying flower,
The flower a tethered butterfly."
Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun

"Just like the butterfly,

 I too will awaken in my own time."

  Deborah Chaskin

In the Midst ~

May your life

reflect

beauty

as you pass through

its
moments

of messiness

Mercy ~

Mercy and loving-kindness and truth

have

met together

righteousness and peace

have

kissed each other

Psalm 85:10

The following poem 
was written by my friend,Joanne,
for the birthday 
of 
a little girl 
who 
was about to turn five
and who 
loves butterflies.


Jessica saw the shadow flitting by..
She let her brown eyes search the sky...
“What is that?” she asked her mind...
“Just what was that flutter-kind?”

She held the paw of a tiny kitten,
But another shadow came by flitten.
“What was that?” she asked again.
“What did I see flutter then?”

She looked around and saw the bushes,
And thought she heard some funny swooshes...
“What was that?” she asked herself.
“That could not have been an elf.”

“An elf is just a made-up thing.
Nothing that my God would bring
And let it fly around my head.
What is going on?” she said.

And then she saw another flutter,
Blue like cornflowers, gold like butter,
“Of course I did not know – it’s shy –
It’s my favorite

... FAVORITE ...


A BUTTERFLY!!”
