February Morning – Mars, PA 2018
Look Inside.
The tiniest drop of water
hanging on the edge of the limb
that might not last
longer than a few moments
holds a glimpse of life.
It tells a story.
Look inside.
Ignore the blurred surroundings.
Squint hard.
Look closely.
Search deep
into this beautiful thing.
Search deep…
inside of You.
Like the tiny drop of water
that reflects the trees trunk and limbs.
Look inside your heart
to see what branches inside of you.
What is growing and stretching
and feeding your soul.
What is reaching
to grasp your happiness.
Look inside
at the beauty of you.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Orange Begonia – July, 2017 – Mars, PA
We don’t always grow when things are easy,
We don’t always blossom when the sun is bright.
Grow through the challenges.
Blossom through the darkness.
Life your life as fully and courageously and boldly as you can.
It’s your opportunity to bloom!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
PS Thanks, Jan, for these beautiful flowers, they are still vibrantly blossoming!
Foggy Morning Railroad Tracks – Mars, PA – August, 2016
When the fog is so thick
you can’t see round the bend,
do you take a chance
or allow a dead end?
Our minds can get foggy too,
and we don’t see as clearly as we usually do.
The intriguing thing, though,
is if we take a slow go
with thoughtful steps in confident faith,
we might be surprised at what awaits.
Go forward my friend
around the bend.
The further you go,
the clearer you’ll grow.
Cherish all the moments.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
