Thoughtful Thursday

"All human beings have occasional glimpses of enlightenment,
moments of clarity in which
suffering drops away and
love overtakes us"
Judith Hanson Lasater

My wish for you today?

For the suffering, that brief respite to set down your troubles.

For the seeking, that bright glimpse of what might be.

For the open heart, an overwhelming warmth of the love that is there.

The View From Here

Every morning, the Baroness plops her regal tush down and ponders. What could I possibly write today that makes any difference at all?

And as I sit, and begin to panic, and my eyes dart around the room in my charming distractable way, I always am, without fail, drawn like a magnet to this postcard which has been tacked to my inspiration board for years and years:

In a catalogue from one of his 2002 exhibits, there is a description that sums it up beautifully:

"...he presents humanity without sin in a
world without danger"

As you wander through your day, may you discover wonder and exploration, nature and stillness.
