I wish I could capture & share every little charming thing I come across in my day. There are so many little things that make me smile to myself everyday. If only there were a printer in my head that could send these images & the narrative that went with them to the internet or that journal I try to write in everyday.
I find that the charming things that provoke my smile often follow a theme. Lately, I am drawn to strength. The strength & bravery of people to live their life no matter what is thrown at them. The strength of a flower to grown from a seed & bloom. The strength of child to make their own way. The strength of a body to do it’s thing day after day, to heal, to jump, to breathe, to run, to sleep, to wake. The strength of a mother to let her child grow. The strength of a dancer to kick & twirl. The strength of a vine to grow again after being hacked away.
This is my vine … It was a mess & constantly needed to be tamed. I hated this vine. I hacked at this vine & hoped it would never return. I’m glad it had more strength than I did patience. It grew back, slowly & found it’s own path. Which ended up being the path I found to keep it on before. It bloomed & it is beautiful. This vine is now a charming little thing that makes me smile.
