My reason for loving new life
The pic on the right was taken in winter 2011, and the pic on the left was taken in spring of 2011. Can you see my reason for embracing new life?
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”— Theodore Geisel
Dear Lord,
If this is the cross you wish for me to carry
I will gladly bear this weight
it’s not even a fraction of the burden you had to bear
and though the weight is heavy
and though this burden hurts
grant me the grace to bear it with ease
to carry it in serenity and peace
if this is where i meant to be
in the middle of hearts breaking
hearts in the process of healing
then please fortify my own
grant me the courage
in the face of fear,
when the task at hand seems bigger
than what I know I am capable of handling
take my own heartaches into your hands
so that my own pains are the least of my worries
bless me with the wisdom to know what to say
the right words, the most creative ways to say it.
if the gift of words is the vocation you choose for me
allow my words to always speak of love
that my written word, that this blog be a blessing
that who ever reads this feels better about themselves, knows their own beauty
the beauty of the world we live in and being alive
I ask for patience, the ability to wait, to work however long it takes
until in love they find faith.
all these I ask not for me but for the greater good
in the name of God
Life in the concrete jungle
There’s a garden across from my building so beautiful that people would drive across four states and yonder to behold it’s magnificence. In late fall, I often daydreamed about how serene it would be once spring arrived. So yesterday, I snuck inside, captured the moments, and at the risk of having someone report me to the garden police I’m going to admit that I stole a few daisies. There. And serving time will be worth it because it is the most magnificent centerpiece that has ever sat on my kitchen table.

It is so incredibly rare that you would think Siamese twin fish attached at the stomach would never survive. But at eight months old, these two Nile Tilapia fish in Thailand have found the perfect way to cope with life upside down… or the right way up if you’re the lucky twin. The bigger fish protects its smaller sibling on the bottom, while it in turn looks for food.
