a tIme to liVe

tRavis was just telling me about a man whom might have a large tumor in his brain....who knew Optometrists were the bearers of such dificult news....that comment and some inspiring music led to the following thought in my hours alone late this lovely night.

You know what I was just pondering? I'll tell you. God intends for us to live with passion, he has intended all along for us to feel, to know, to discover, to hurt, to cry, to feel inexplicable joy. That is why he blesses us with relationships, music, beautiful wondrous things....that we may breathe in the sweet ocean air and think...how remarkable. He intends for us to grasp our creative qualities and expand and enjoy them. They may not speak beauty to others, but to those safe in your circle of trust you share you joys of experimentation with and you all rejoice together that you are indeed so very different and so very fond of creating. After all we are the creations of the most creative being. And after we die, we do all we do in this life in hope of creating forever and ever, and finding sweet joy in doing so.

this photo is what inspired and enlivened me tonight....no there is nothing very striking about it....but it tells such a sweet story.
