ethereal green wall in the alley of a small town

powerful monument in the capitol city

broken pottery mosaic on the sidewalk

tree trunk art in the rainforest

luscious dessert art

bottles create stained glass in the walls of the turtle sanctuary

heart becomes part of the path

where the fairies might live in the rain forest

small storefront in the rain

night setting at one of our rain forest stays

hanging rain forest bridge to ?

fisherman’s boat waits for him on the river

flowers growing wild on the caribbean beach

near where the sea turtle laid her eggs the night before

there was beauty of all kinds to be found in costa rica,

often in the most unlikely of places, in all its forms, as is beauty’s way.

“when you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.”

snow was falling.

grand circus park, detroit, michigan, usa – 1920s

walking in the beautiful snowfall yesterday, it was clear some things never change, even after 100 years

“snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dark trees

that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness.”

messy.

once the rain came

and the temperature rose by 50 degrees

and the snow and ice turned

to slush, and mud, and dirty water

and the discovery of this

brought such a level of joy and celebration

to the sandbox

that it was immeasurable. 

“childhood is messy and beautiful.”

today i leave ireland

where i went

to find my heart again

and

while here

i found

so many beautiful hearts 

all around me

everywhere i went

each

unique and lovely

in its own way

and

in the most unexpected of places.

“though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,

we must carry it with us or we find it not.”
