Bring down your colors
Break open your box of song
Beauty lifts us up

It’s a choice we have, isn’t it? To choose to see, to choose to open up, to choose to share!

In addition to Beauty…Love….I love these lines from an old Hymn:
“Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me.”

I very consciously try to live every day like that: Colourful, fiercly, lovingly, putting in as much creativity and passion I can manage (and it’s not the same every day, I admit that)…. and share the good things with like-minded people.
Seems to work just fine – and when it doesn’t, I try again, next day.
Wonderful combo here, Dave! Thanks.

nice haiku; they are becoming my favorite form of poetry. I also noticed that you did not have a “Guess What Day It Is” yesterday…

Nice catch on Hump Day. Couldn’t find anything inspiring and Work For Home didn’t feel like Hump day.
