Beauty is the sap of my life.
It is as close to a physical manifestation of love as anything I can know.
I find it everywhere.
It fills my lungs and pushes the blood into my heart.
It makes me gasp with dandelion’s breath, it makes me cry loping crocodile tears.
Beauty lifts me out of this particular time to a larger one…
…and yet freezes the second hand on my life’s tick-tock watch.
How different we all are in this wide world and yet we all have been kissed…
…by its grace.
Pink kisses maybe. Brushed lightly across our forehead.
The touch of creativity’s spark…
Straight into the best of who we ever are.
Cue music……
Today’s post was for By Invitation Only, an international meeting of bloggers all singing a different tune of the same song. February’s theme is “inspiration.”

Such a lovely compliment, thank you so much Virginia!
You were somewhere dancing around the edge of my thoughts while I was writing this, Suze.
Hooray! That makes me happy!!
Merci Tracey–trying to tempt those far away with the light of Provence…heehee…
Daaaavid. Don't make me reinstall the comment approval system again…
Breathtaking photographs. Inspiration personified.

Thank you, Heather.
You are so lucky to be surrounded by so much beauty, and to have the eye to capture it in such a way that one can feel like being there.
I feel pink kissed!
Thanks

Absolutely beautiful Heather!!!

Oh, Heather…
your photographs are, as usual & predictably enough, beautiful, BUT?…..
I just read "How different we all are in this wide world and yet we all have been kissed…", and I thought "Hmmmm…..Heather obviously hasn't seen Susan Boyle's first viral-video."
Google the you-tube video for "Susan Boyle I had a Dream". Either you're wrong or everyone's favorite, professional, & Simon-Cowell-carefully-crafted underdog is lying through her teeth.
Advisedly yours as ever,
david Terry
