Raving Sane

Sparkle

Nov 8, 2008 Observations, Religion

I know that life is short and that I need to bring a sense of wonder to every moment, but sometimes I get buried and everything becomes gray. It may stay that way for some time, but inevitably something makes me look up and I see once again that everything is magic.

A glorious sunset. A beautiful silence. The smell of flowers. A cold hollow followed by a warm hilltop. A song sung by my boy. A smile from my love. The world, peacefully sleeping. The smell of fresh bread or beer.

These things make me deeply happy. The kind of happy that starts on the inside and comes out. Lately these feelings of joy and wonder have brought me to tears – and everything that I see sparkles.
