This morning, this photo and its clever title (Lichen it) shook me with a smile. That simple smile allowed me to realize that I had, once again, been holding tight to serious duty.
Like a sudden breeze on a sultry day, it woke me to a bigger reality – one full of surprises in the tiniest places.
In a world that holds such wonder, I am continually surprised at my ability to place blinders on my own eyes, trying to avoid the very ‘distractions’ that would feed my soul.
Small wonder I am tired and dry.
Small Wonder and once again I find the whisper of life in simple beauty. It waits with lovely patience for my glance.
Thank you.
