Like the frost patterns on my window
thoughts intersect
A maze of invisible lines passing back and forth, through and over
meeting, separating
in a vast network system of connections and fragments
tracing off at odd angles in different directions
and then converging again all at once
crisscross
in my mind

And then I breathe deeply, quieting them all
and simply enjoy the beauty of the frost patterns on my window.
Of which there’s been plenty of over the past few days. The cold weather here has finally set in and Jack frost has been up to his old tricks breathing lovely patterns on my windows during the night. I haven’t had my real camera to capture them with though because I forgot it at my sister’s, so these that I snapped with my new phone will have to do…
Stay warm my friends, may your day be filled with quieted thoughts and loud beauty…
❤

Wonderful poem and photos Julie, even with a phone. 🙂 I love how you brought us back to that quiet place when we connect with the beauty of nature or the moment. Thanks.

Thanks Brad! I’m very pleased with my new phone’s camera, it will probably become the one I primarily share from going forward because of its convenience. 🙂
Here’s to breathing in the beauty!

If those photos you shared recently were from your phone then I’d say actual camera or not – you’re able to capture some lovely shots!
With as old as my camera is, my phone is probably more advanced in some ways, but it can’t take macros or zoom as well.
To beauty!
