Sometimes in life we must invest our whole being into a task.

It may involve risk; we may tumble.

seeking gold treasure

lives fully in the moment

There’s beauty to be found in the unexpected, if we seek for it.

Life is a mix of pain and pleasure; sweet and sour complement one another.

Life is full of contrasts.

 The jagged edge of danger often lurks within the playgrounds of the fragile.

~

it’s not a tame world

to fancy or to take flight

daily decisions

What is purity of heart?

To do the right thing for the right reason?

Love is a discipline; it’s a choice that we make.

so many petals

desirable for bouquets

 letters that spell love

Boldness may be required to protect someone we love.

We may need to use it for our own safety too.

Letting someone hurt is hurtful; enabling is toxic.

~

truth with love is good

some secrets should not be kept

denial destroys

When I no longer smile at flowers, it will be because my smile has become perpetual.

Perennial flowers are my best friends in the garden.

Wildflowers are the fairies in the woods who smile back at me.

jewels of the woods

wildflowers crown the forest

fairies without wings

This fellow landed on the thistle just as I was photographing it.

A pleasant surprise!

I love visiting the woods.

I’ve shared with you the wildflowers that my son and I came across along Brown’s River.

You may read about that hike in the previous post.

on a woodland walk

I gather peace like flowers
