Love is joy – found in simple moments of awe.

Look for ordinary Signs of Love today. (remarkable story – scroll down)

There is a crystal clear blue sky that happens in Oregon, a deep resonate blue that infiltrates your being, becomes your breath and the sweet fragrance of clarity and gratitude waft like the blooming roses near by.

These are the days we experience life with more zest – you know it, because it seems the whole town is outdoors somewhere, on the bike path or walking along the river…and we are all smiling!

This morning, was one of those days, only even better.  That is, for the kids anyway – school was out for a day.

If you were there, you would have seen this grandmother and her granddaughter having breakfast together and witnessed the joy and love between them dancing in their eyes, the laughter and sparkling conversations lighting up the restaurant.

Sometimes we think as adults we are here to teach our children and make them become something we have in mind – oh, but what I have learned – our children are here to teach us.  Their wisdom is so pure, spontaneous and flows in innocence every day.  I wonder how much passes us by?

Eager for breakfast and yet so taken with the aliveness happening outside – together the two sat in awe gazing at the indescribable beauty on the other side of the window glass. The pink and white cherry trees were in full bloom, azaleas and every spring flower planted was smiling so bright.

In childlike sheer enthusiasm and spontaneity, the granddaughter was already out there in her mind’s eye touching those delicate blossoms. She suddenly had this amazing idea – why couldn’t she make it  ‘snow’ blossoms?  ….. so after breakfast – it ‘snowed’ blossoms and as they floated down, a Sign of Love kissed her eye! 

Oh to see the possibilities, ease and ‘it is done’ as a child.

…and if there was ever a Sign of Love that would touch your heart, it would have been these two hearts sharing the joy of life together.

loving you,
Theresa
