Did you find the sunshine, tucked in the clouds on this perfect day? It matters not, for nothing can take it away today. I close my eyes to the sounds around me, breathing in this song without words. Instrumentally perfect for the day in front of me.
Let's go for a #WednesdayWalk hosted by @Tattoodjay. Who's in? Raise your hand high in the air so I can see you from here! It's never too early or late to participate! Step right up, but, please, keep the proper social distance.
I adore light, it is beyond irresistible in its drama it creates. I just want to capture the light as it spills out from your soul. You have a way about you, so extraordinary. Your light draws others, it warms the very core of me, and it lightens the darkness. But most of all, light is required for growth. For plants. For people. Light.
Amid the blossoms surrounding me and the grass beneath my feet, the light streamed in between the branches, illuminating my day.
Le sigh.
Hidden in the trees are the little house wrens, I can hear them chattering to their brood. I smell the freshness of the soil in the garden and notice the little garden snake slithering through the old birdbath. I owe it to him to clean the leaves out of it and give it a little water.
Shine your beautiful day upon my face.
Each and every day
Like the sun rising after the dawn
You are so beautiful
These leaves are like ferns that have bloomed into a jubilant green sea, covering the branch in a straightforward pattern.
It was really a wonderful walk. Once I stopped fooling around, I ran (little) and walked much, covering a six-mile range. I crossed paths with over 35 people, all of whom kept the proper social distance. Good job, people. This will be our new normal for a while. And yes, I wear a mask. A very cute one. All the dog lovers like it.
That is the end of my #WednesdayWalk by @Tattoodjay. If you want to read his post with the original rules for the challenge, you can find it here. Thank you for tagging along and I hope you have a most amazing rest of your day!
A flower. There must always be a flower to color my world. This picture is dedicated to #WednesdayYellow #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra.
God Bless you, Mother Nature! Forever and ever, Amen.

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"
