unique between causal


I scrambled out of bed, sleepy-eyed and disarrayed, and pulled open the blinds. I saw the sun rising between bundles of houses and trees; the sun - golden, magenta, warm and creamy. It slowly slipped it's way into the sky. I saw beauty between mundane, unique in the midst of causal.  
  
You see, lately I've found it hard to see beauty through the mundane; and how I long for adventure. To be in Paris, the Louvre, a coffee shop in Italy, splashing in the shores of New Zealand, climbing the mountains of Scotland or participating in the bustle of London or NYC... my mind wanders, clicks -- yes, I also strive to be a hunter of beauty.  I strive not to gain that beauty with money and traveling expeditions, but through God's creation, everyday happenings, my own talents, inspiring pictures and words.  

“I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.” 
― Laura Ingalls Wilder

  7. Thanks for dropping by my blog! Do you like the book you are working on, or does it bog down in information a little to much? My Wile book tends to do that quite often.

    1. Oh, I would be JUST the same -- eager to start a new book, so barely finishing the old one!
      I'm doing Apologia's 12 grade Anatomy and Physiology. Yes, I'm only in tenth grade but I absolutely love the sciences/biology.
      Aww, well... I don't think I'm that good. But I'll have to share some more with you guys soon. *wink wink*

      XOXO

    2. Awesome! :D If you can get a little ahead of the game, more power to you. lol Maybe if you finish early you can get some college classes in before you start, so you'll already have some credits (if you're wanting to go to college. ;)

      Yes, you should. :D I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't think you were good at it. XD haha
