February Fog

 

The road ahead shrouded in mist

I venture deeper into that mysterious unknown

unafraid

soothed by the stillness 

of a February fog

Snapped this with my phone through the windshield of my car as I was driving down the road this morning.  Don’t worry, I was being completely safe, there were no other cars in sight.  🙂

I love the fog, even with as dreary as it seems.  I find the stillness and mysteriousness of it incredibly soothing.  We don’t get fog here very often, so I’m always delighted whenever we do and make it a point to get outside and enjoy it.

May you find things to enjoy today too…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Solitude

I had this one in my drafts from back in 2015, so it’s probably cheating a bit to use it for this week’s photo challenge, but it came to mind as I was out driving my mom to an appointment earlier this morning, because it’s very dreary weather here today.  Funny thing is, I rather like it.  The entire city is shrouded in a heavy mist, I love it.  So odd for February.

I’ve always thought of solitude as a state of being peaceful in aloneness, but in studying the definition a bit more,  I’m not so sure.  Some of the other words synonymous with solitude include –  emptiness, isolation, loneliness, and even quarantine, it’s not until way down the list that I see peace and quiet.  I guess it all depends on what one’s interpretation and perception of things are…

 

May you interpret and perceive today as being lovely

Music Monday – Heartbeat

 

 

Heartbeat

I’ve seen the sun disappear before my eyes
Just above the highest tide, but falling to the ocean line
And all I see is smoke, enough to make me choke
The world feels broken down

Counting the lines, the years are screaming louder now
And all the trees start falling down, the brightest lights are burning out
So I will run though fire to reach the other side
And turn this life around

And when the moment’s dead and gone
With every star I’m wishing on
With every right and every wrong
The lonely nights that take us all
For all the stones I’ve ever thrown
Another break against the bone
Close my eyes I’m not alone
And let the heartbeat take me home

If there is love raining down on everyone
We can break away and run like we did when we were young
And we could make believe this is all we need
To live for only here and now

So if the moment’s dead and gone
With every star we’re wishing on
With every right and every wrong
The endless nights we sang along
For all the stones we’ve never thrown
We can save these broken bones
Close our eyes, we’re not alone
And let the heartbeat take us home

Shadows of the Beauty Inside

 

The light reveals

shadows of the beauty hidden inside

I’ve come down with a slight case of spring fever, so I did what I always do around this time of year and bought myself a little pot of spring bulbs to grow indoors.

As I was sitting with my coffee and journal this morning I noticed that against the light that was coming in through my window, I could see the hidden bloom developing inside one of the daffodils, and a million metaphors sprang to mind.  Well, maybe not a million.  😉  My phone couldn’t really capture it though so the photo is mediocre, but I wanted to share it anyway.

 

Wishing you light and inspiration today, and as always…
