Sometimes you find heaven in odd places.
I find my heaven looking for smooth, flat stones along the shore.
 |
Heaven is looking at the messages left behind by those
who have passed before me,
who were happy. And in love.
For some people, heaven is a beach in the hot sun.
For others, it's a cool day on a beach.
For some, it's not even the beach at all.
I don't understand those people.
Not one bit.
For me, heaven is where land and water intersect.
Whether it's the ocean or a river or a lake,
heaven is watching the water tickle the land.
And watching the sun's gentle kisses
touch the face of the water.
And say good-night to another beautiful day.
Welcome to my Heaven.
Lake Michigan.

Well I am a parent, although not an adoptive one. But I did the writing workshop. That was a lovely post, very visually pleasing photos. Thanks for sharing that experience...
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous pictures. And I adore beaches too. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that my wife hates sand. LOL So usually it is the kids and I that do beach things. I am jealous of those beautiful smooth stones. We didn't find enough for KC's carnival tomorrow (rock painting is on his list of things to do with his friend) and I had to BUY some. There is something so wrong about buying a rock!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words to accompany gorgeous pictures. Loved it! :)
