September Sunset, Butler, PA
When the clouds of life
try to block the
badass dazzling
bright light
of your beautiful soul,
Bust on through
and sparkle
and shine
and glow
wherever you can.
Cheers & Hugs,

Look Inside
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
When I look into your eyes
Ceilng Light, Omni William Penn, Pittsburgh, PA
When I look into your eyes,
I see your heart…
and that is where
the beauty is.
It’s deep in your soul.
It’s past the superficial.
When I look into your eyes
nothing else matters.
I wonder what you see
when you look into mine.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Seeing the Weeping in the Willow Tree
Weeping Willow Tree, Conneaut Lake, October 2016
When the physical things of this world
blur and fade through the lens of our eyes,
A different kind of vision
grows stronger and clearer…
The ability to see the weeping
in the leaves of the willow tree,
The arms that extend and embrace
in its branches,
The foundation that centers and steadies
in its strong, solid trunk.
The weeping willow
is crystal clear
in our heart
and soul
and mind.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
