it.

i keep a "wisdom box". it is full of books and compliations of wise words, thoughts, publications, and messages, all from scriptors of wise Love. i pray that my "wisdom box" will continue to grow beautifully and blessedly as it has always, poured into and added to by Love itself, found by me and my family and friends for always to come. that each life will in treasure Love the box and so forth pour it outward... all of Love... for as an ounce of it states,
"There is no other reason why we should live than that we love and are beloved." (-Drummond)

no matter.

...glorious feeling to recognize yourself as the one crossing a parking lot and earning raised eyebrows in question, from whose gut a carefree and poorly talented and uninhibited set of song lyrics with tune is being belted... to recognize your source of liberty and vitality in it... to be alive in joy and peace and dreams all at once and pouring such pulse to the world

:).

soundscapes.

what a beautiful and treasurable way to embrace your vitality at home: enjoy the music of soundscapes, a new-age/instrumental 'music choice' station on our cable box... # 937 i believe.

soundscapes fills our space with peace, warmth, and comfort, all for which we've prayed to be the essence of home in our new, light-full life.

small big smiles.

- life only is made of small, insignificant occurrences.

- there is no thing more intellectually inspiring, spiritually understanding, peacefully moving, warmly exciting, or fully believing than an early fall moment on a busy and green university campus lawn.

refreshed.

it's been too long since posting last, yet i am refreshed, complete, married, and peaceful, now ready to make notes on goodness overflown from months past and recent.

a few moments of smiles from the honeymoon in Anguilla, Cap Juluca Resort:
- two young boys, probably brothers, walking along the surf ang licking jam and preserves straight from the tiny glass jars in which they are packaged. they had grabbed them, i'm sure, from the late afternoon tea assortment on the veranda.
- new wonderful love of Orchid tea, oolong.
- from journal note: "maybe one of my favorite things in life is to wake up leisurely after great rest, have an appetite, eat enough to enjoy, sip warmth, and then crawl back into bed just because it feels good. for like an hour."
- turquoise blue reflection beneath the wings of all seagull swooping along the mist, enough to create illusion of actual under-wing coloring.

my brother james is handsome, confident, hilarious, witty, compassionate, tough, and pure.
what blessing he is to life, not only one but many, from mine to those nearby, around, or dear.
he will find blessing from God, for Love, of love.

ah, to know.

find blessing in the words and eyes of loved ones who love you also.
find the soul and more that connect with yours, that know yours in meeting. let them light you with peace and thrill; there is Love abound, and Love understood around. tell the soul thank you; Love shared is the ever-do.

there is nothing greater than Love in itself, nor any purpose or vitality worth more than Love and it's pouring; it is God and the goodness and the Soul.
Love shared is even greater and Love felt, known is best of all.
