Black and white: a very clear choice that causes no confusion. Yes, please.

Rays of sunshine spill through to my soul, revealing the start of a beautiful day. Admittedly, it’s all about letting the sun shine in, wherever you are, whatever you do. Forever and ever. How could you want any different? I cannot imagine anyone that would. Sometimes merely looking at life a different way changes a few things. If it doesn't - really, what have you lost?

Golden opportunity, golden touch, golden boy, golden rule...Oh, the richness of gold. Golden can mean that a person is in a desirable situation that will likely lead to some sort of success. Like bringing me a small bunch of golden sunshine tightly bound in grosgrain ribbon. Desirable and quite likely successful in making me happy. Life awaits you in all its fullness and joy.

The heart is such a complex little contrivance. But, today my heart is full of love. There are just so many words that spill over on top of each other, wandering loosely about.

“I love you.” “I love you.” Yes. Yes. Yes. "I’ll love you forever and ever." Never, ever forget that it's not enough to think it, or to ever take it for granted. You have to tell the people you love, “I love you.” “ I love you.” Every day, every day, and hug them until they get it. Then do it all over again. And again. And again.

Happy almost Tuesday. A day of promise. — at that special place in my heart.


It’s hard to accept as true, those summer days are numbered and few. Time lingers - for not a soul. I still hold on, I won’t let go. Then again, there is that Monday thing going on too. — at rolling over in clover.



It was a beautifully manicured trail that I walked; I ceased the count of waterfalls, they went on and on…rock outcroppings, open meadows, the way the light hit them- then us…. and the impossibly solid walls of fern at your kneecaps. Oh, yes. It was pure, natural and oh-so-beautiful. Here is a little something I spotted on the trail. I'm sure it was an on-purpose planting as opposed to nature. No? Oh, Monday! I’m not sure it could have been better. Short and sweet trek today, but, oh, the wonder of it all always makes my heart sing.

As always, there must be flowers.I dedicate this flower to #MondayRed #ColorChallenge
by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every day.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
