Great post!! I can't run, but I can walk! I walk every chance I get, like when I go out to feed the birds.

Was starlight bright enough to guide your steps?

Or the dark, so dark, that spotlights hung from necks?

Was children’s laughter cast into the woods?

Or yours in response to all that’s good?

The best of days to all!

Awe and Wonder Call

You respond in unison

Looking up, you “know”❗️

The “awe and wonder” of The Artist is the portal to faith. A knowing acceptance of a mystery beyond our ability to comprehend. Great quote by Armstrong. Thank You.
