“…And here am I, budding
among the ruins
with only sorrow to bite on,
as if weeping were a seed and I
the earth’s only furrow.”
-Pablo Neruda, Lightless Suburb

“You don’t get over it, you get through it. It doesn’t get better, it gets different. Every day, just like me, grief puts on a new face.” -Unknown
And yet, there are moments of pure bliss, like stars in the night sky. Like this:
Moonrise over Belgrade. Music: Tchaikovsky – Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.

ps 22apr2020: Meant to add music, as promised. This song, “Don’t Wait” by Addison Road was release in 2010, but when I listened to this song tonight, it felt like it a letter to the future we’re living today.
I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡

“My breath would catch at the sight of violets-so common in the woods at home, so surprising in the mountains. The violet’s message was “Keep up your courage, stay true to what you believe in.”

Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today, and
She gives herself away-Jon Foreman
I realize I used this photo two years ago, but this is my favorite daisy photo of all time (so far). I added the stars.
I remember when daisies grew by the railroad tracks in our small New Jersey town every June. But now they bloom in November in another town only 40 miles south under my pear tree (Wish).
We’ve been having a great discussion on the KindSpring.org KarunaVirus Challenge about having a heart of service. It seems we agree: helping others feel happy, safe, joyful, well and loved is #1. Since I can remember, I’ve felt this way. Now I have an entire tribe who feels this way.

I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡

Music heals so I’m adding music. Some of my favorite blogs add music (Ivor). Today I couldn’t decide between these two Sting songs. Then I realized I could add both. It’s not like there are WordPress Police watching every move I make.
