Soaring like eagles
Gliding above earth and sky
Vision far beyond
How do you capture beauty?
Joy unspeakable
is not silent
it moans, hums, and bends
to the rhythm of a dancing universe.
It is a fractal of transcendent hope,
a hologram of God’s heart
a black hole of unknowing. ~ Barbara A. Holmes
What is joy unspeakable for you?
Let there be an opening into the quiet that lies beneath the chaos, where you find the peace you did not think possible and see what shimmers within the storm. ~ Jan Richardson, Blessing in the chaos
Where is the opening for you?
… Light
You invite me into delight!
Beauty. Abundance.
I stretch to embrace. … ~ Maureen Fowler
How do you invite the light?

How do you discover this depth?

What refreshes you?
