“the sunshiny butterflies come and go
Like beautiful thoughts moving to and fro.
And not a wave of their busy wings
Is unknown to the Spirit that moveth all things.”

Hummingbird
A flash of harmless lightning,
A mist of rainbow dyes,
The burnished sunbeams brightening,
From flower to flower he flies…

Water lilies
Large floating green leaves — Decked with white showy flowers — Resting on the lake
Flourishing in the humid weather
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places” ~ Roald Dahl
Fragrance
“As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round. ~Ben Hogan
A little glimpse of gold
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops – at all.
~Emily Dickinson
