I haven't made it across our cove in years & ventured over there with a friend the other day. I love this thumbnail... the colors & angles, the subtlety of light...I enjoy the unusual focus, but when I opened the image, I was disappointed to find it askew. It makes me think how often people believe "when [they] finally..." or "if only", then life will be all they ever dreamt of. People chase the prize & forget to embrace & cherish the now. Our culture seems to spend a lot of time chasing things to better ourselves while sacrificing precious gratitude of the present moments & blessings.
We made it across & built magical memories (of which I will write another time). The treasures we discovered on my own side of the creek & ridge stay with me in ways more deeply than what we found in the secret garden. I needn't have ventured over the falls & through the hole in the fence to find these gems. The scientifically minded ask, "Why are things such as these so beautifully made?". These blooms tucked over the hill, beyond the path go unseen yet the Hand of a playful, Artist has adorned them with such grace & care.... The loving Hand of the Father-Creator renders science speechless in awe & wonder.
