Sometimes, in the midst of our routine lives,
The mist parts
To reveal something so gorgeous
So wondrous
That we just have to stop and gaze
And let our hearts swell with the feeling of reverence
And joy.
I am always thankful for the reminder
To stop a while
And drink from the cup of wonder.
For more wonder, please visit: Our World and Skywatch.
I’m away making the most of the last week of the summer holidays, so please excuse my absence!
Don’t forget to enter my give-away here, if you want to…
