“We all want to see Sunshine after Moonlight" -Jan Jansen, Easy Branches
Nothing quite beats the very first sun and shine of the day, peering out of the vagueness, til the break of dawn. A moment in time, so splendid and true… tomorrow it will be just a memory, but just for this instant, it lives on in my mind as extraordinary. A very great morning to you!
Happy Saturday!!
Each time
I see
A piece of sun or shine
Anywhere
Anytime
It feels like a slice of happy
The day has started a little darker than the sunshine in my heart. I close my eyes, then breathe in some happiness and sunshine. Some days, you have to give it a kickstart. So, if your day is having a hard time getting going in the right direction, slide over, I got this! 💖 For you? Anything.
Take a moment of peace, quiet your soul, then, open wide and let the sun shine in. This melody of life brings joy to my heart, now and again.
Now and again.
A flower. Always. There must always be a flower to color my world. This flower is dedicated to #SaturdayPurple #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra, for she knows how it's done.
For my soul can only take so many days of darkness before it breaks out in a fit of sunshine.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
