Beauty glimpsed

Just some of what I have seen in the past few weeks.


A beautiful sunset from a plane or your front step.

The wind blowing you towards home.

Spending time with your grandparents even if you can only do that at a cemetery.

Eyes squinting in amusement - finding something you have said charming or endearing.

The knowing look - I know you - te conozco, not se lo que dices.

A goofy conversation to lift your thought from the grief, if only for a few minutes.

Dinner with your new friend.

Sharing of yourself with the one person who rubs you the wrong way. We cannot give up. We have to continue to strategize how we can make the breakthrough.

Believing in the goodness of people even when they are not at their best.

Red orange leaves recently fallen from an itchy tree.

The skyline that lives in your veins and calls out, " home."

Your five year old nephew playing along with the joke he didn't know you were going to say. Vivo!

"Frogs," exclaimed from the young upon finding polywogs and new frogs in the trough.

Chencha and Lencha trying to make it to freedom, aka the back forty, through the party.

The look of recognition on your new friends face that speaks of the closeness you've achieved.

The handshake instead of the hug that tells you that your concern was noted and appreciated. (on my part it was an implied hug!)

Having music touch your soul when you need most it. Thanks, Pink!!

Loving all your parts.

Regulars commuting on the metrolink ...


When times are challenging, it is more important than ever to see the beauty the universe presents us every day

Blessed be.

May I acknowledge abundance.
May I allow love to flow to and from me.
May I embrace my gifts and talents.
May I feel beautiful and strong.
