“The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing…to find the place where all the beauty came from” ~ C.S. Lewis
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
The air is heavy, and I'm weighed down by sweat-drenched clothes and dew-soaked sneakers, and I swat at skeeters that nibble my ankles and sometimes question my sanity as I tip-toe 'round the pond.
Crazy lady with her camera. Whatever does she see out there in the wet grass and tangle of vines along the creek?
But truthfully, I can't resist. God sprinkled beauty in unlikely places - in mud and grass and on rocks and cypress knees - and I don't want to miss a thing.
It's in the way dangling moss sparkles in the early morning light, and bullfrogs skip across the surface of the pond, and dragonflies with their gossamer wings poise along the barb-wire fence.
It's in mockingbird serenades, and woodpecker fledglings, and perky dandelions dotting the fields.
And I wonder why we call them weeds when God called them good.
(C.S.Lewis quote HT Light for the Writer's Soul - Victoria Gaines)
