a simple equation of love
cartoon happy family in dark skin tone
The early morning sun streaming through the East window of our bedroom enhanced the warmth of this tender moment between my daughter and her father. She loved Saturday mornings because of the opportunity to snuggle up closer to her father when he didn’t have to leave for work. I relinquished my place in our bed to grab my camera and capture this special time. This picture was taken 10 years ago, and my little girl is now a teenager who still loves to crawl up into her daddy’s lap. On a spiritual note, I have spent many years trying to sort out the “character” of God… His presence in our lives, if He is demanding or compassionate? When I see this picture I understand the heart of a father towards his child and I can believe that I am cherished by our Father in Heaven. Some people believe there is no God. I can understand that too. But to borrow a quote from a favorite movie of mine, (Second Hand Lions) “Sometimes the thing we need most to believe in may or may not be true.” Whatever you choose to believe in, if it is good for your heart, then cling to it with all your might. Surely you are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, LORD, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past. / NLT Isaiah 63:16 A tender greeting for a Father’s Day card! / /
Psalm 139 and God’s assurances that no matter where we go, he is with us.
The day you were born, the whole world was blessed / These thoughts in my mind to you I must confess / The time has come for me to express my true feelings / You are the center of my thoughts and the essence of my being You brighten my days and lift my spirits / I have felt this for so long and now want you to hear it / For you have lifted me up from a life filled with sorrow / And made me realize there is always a better tomorrow So you may know the place you hold in my heart / You are always with me even when we’re apart / I truly believe what we have is meant to be / Just open your heart and soon you shall see What I am willing to do to keep a smile on your face / Just know that I’m here and will be ALWAYS… /beautiful poem by Brandon A.

For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back… / Love is not about “it’s your fault”, but “I am sorry”. / Not “where are you”, but “I am right here for you”. / Not “how could you”, but “I understand”. / Not “I wish you were”, but “I am thankful you are”. Just open your heart… As Is…No Edit.. / /Canon 400D – 100 mm 2.8 Macro Lens/ / More photos: / /

Take my hand, / Lead me to the light. / Take my hand, / Tell me “It’s alright”.... Hold me tight, / Don’t let me go away. / Keep my heart, / Let me stay.. Featured in the Group “Inspiring Greeting Cards” December 31, 2008 / Another version, simple: /
Love at first sight is an emotional condition whereby a person feels romantic attraction for a stranger on the first encounter with the stranger. The term may be used to refer to a mere sexual attraction or crush, but it usually refers to actually falling in love with someone literally the very first time one sees him or her, along with the deep desire to have an intimate relationship with that person. In the classical world, the phenomenon of “love at first sight” was understood within the context of a more general conception of passionate love, a kind of madness or, as the Greeks put it, theia mania (“madness from the gods”).

_Blue Heron…Thank you, Sacred Waterbird, / for sending reflections to me; / The mirrors of the quest for life, / The words that live inside of me. Show me how relationships work, / With my path woven within the whole, / The lessons of kinship with all life, / Reflecting my spirit’s eternal goal. Jamie Sams_ The medicine of Blue Heron is self-reflection, and asks if you are willing to dive into the watery depths of your own feelings and discover the role of your spiritual essence? Heron is now calling you to delve deeper, to know yourself, and to trust your path. Like the Phoenix, who rises from its own ashes, Heron emerges from the unseen worlds of spirit into a new balanced sense-of-self in order to ebrace its potential again and again. / The magnificence of your human spirit lies waiting for the joy of discovery, if you are courageous enough to follow the Waterbird throughout the journey. Heron reminds you that every traveler on life’s journey is a messenger, and that every destination is the beginning of a new life cycle on the Medicine Wheel. Reflections Photograph taken at Wind River Ranch, as is, while speaking to my sister/friend Judi Taylor ~ love ya lots sis ;) xoxox ♥
