Vacation Memories

Last June, I had a real vacation....one that involves going away from home, staying in a condo, relaxing, and seeing the sights! This is the view from our condo one morning when a hot-air balloon came by. Wyndham Resort, Pagosa Springs, Colorado - 2007.

Illuminated from Within

Backlit yellow bloom

the awakening garden cheers.

Her glory not achieved

from her own need to please

but by the One who created her

to turn invisible rays

into stunning beauty.

Like her, I effortlessly reflect

the glory of my Creator

when the Spirit is invited

to illuminate from within.
