Mrs. Lady gave me the power to believe in myself at a time when everything else was dark. She was a lifeline for me. 💛🥹

Love this. ❤️

PHOTO by Szabó Viktor. The image showcases a dramatic sky at sunset, where deep blue and teal hues blend with warm shades of orange and pink. Billowing clouds, tinged with fiery highlights, create a striking contrast against the cooler tones of the sky. Sunlight filters through the gaps, casting a soft glow that enhances the depth and texture of the clouds, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder.

The sky's beauty lies in its randomness. And so does the beauty of life.

Guten Morgen!

Pink flowers with five petals clustered together against a blurred green background.

A blooming lily glowing with purpose and passion.

The Maker dreams
through you and me,
hiding galaxies
in the curl of a petal…

More mystical still..

—The yielding wind,
that bows where all draws near;
Its restless hymn grows soft and thinned,
as though it learned to hear.

The unseen bends, the vast complies,
in reverent view of the above;
Wandering breath grows wise
in the presence of true of oneness—

A cascading mountain waterfall tumbling down a tiered face of dark, wet slate rock. The water fans out into dozens of thin ribbons and streams in the upper section before converging into a rushing, frothy cascade below. Patches of bright green moss cling to the rock face, and bare winter branches frame the edges of the scene. A fallen log cuts diagonally across the middle of the falls.

What a beautiful way to honor her❣️My middle school English teacher encouraged me to write. She said I have talent. It was because of her that I won a a story contest that year as a 7th grader. All it takes is someone who believes in you for us to find our wings to fly!

Beautiful 🪶

You don’t have to be perfect to be divine.

You don’t have to perform holiness to deserve play.

February recap:
• drank tea
• felt feelings
• did not collapse
• bought myself flowers

Regulated…with lip gloss.
