Out of Difficulties

Key West, Florida

"Out of difficulties grow miracles."
~ Jean De La Bruyere


Yes, this has been a difficult month for us, full of heartbreak and challenges to accept what is. 

I am reminded that from pain new life grows and that our lives are balanced by new experiences, change, and joy. 

And always, the miracles... and surprises... of life are as true as the morning sunrise.

Happily May I Walk

May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.

May it be beautiful above me.
May it be
beautiful all around me.
In beauty it is finished."

View from the bottom of my mountain

is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up is better
than the view from the base,
and it steadily becomes finer
as the horizon expands."
