Romantic Seashells

Think upon the life of a seashell....
......its uniqueness of design, shape, color and dimension...
..... its life and occupants...
..... its petrified history...
...... each day as an amazing journey...

Wait, WE are no different.
Except that WE, you and I,  know Love, Compassion and Wisdom.





Sharing a few recent pencil, pen, watercolor sketches that have a similar feeling.

Finding Beauty

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
                                                   Vincent Van Gogh




Mary Oliver, The Sun

Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful
than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea, 
and is gone_____


and how it slides again
out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower



streaming upward on its heavenly toils,
say, on a morning in early summer.....
such wild love
do you think there is anywhere, in any language
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure
that fills you, 
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you......

Finding love through the eloquence of a poet's words and nature photography.
May this give a moment's pause to your day.
