Foundation of Joy
Sometimes I just smile
At the flight of a bee
At the crickets’ song
At the wind in the tree
I see the gift of the dawn
Of a waterfall’s noise
Of a dolphin’s joy
Of a bird’s vivid voice
We need to remember
Once in a while
It’s these things, taken for granted
Which, in the end, make us smile
In Love and Light

Wasnt it Martin Luther who talked about nature always being one of Gods best sermons. It’s definitely where I feel safest.

How some simple things touch us so deeply, touching an unknown part within to form a glow, a recognition, an acceptance of the moment 😀❤️🙏🏽
