In this world unraveled, there is always hope… “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.” (Emily Dickinson).. 🙂
Hope is a feather floating in a bright blue sky Hope is that sparkle that shines in your eyes. Hope is a butterfly fluttering on the wind Hope is good times spent with family and friends. Hope is a newborn baby’s cry Hope is a Mother’s lullaby. Hope is the rainbow after a rain Hope is the harvest of golden grain. Hope is the light that keeps darkness at bay Hope is the breeze on a hot summer day. Hope is ever present and free of cost Hope is the last thing ever lost. Hope is staying positive when the going gets tough Hope is seeking help when you feel you’ve had enough. Hope is recovery from simmering sorrow Hope is believing in a brighter tomorrow. (Linda Hotger)
Hello Diary,
Yes, even though life has put many challenges before us, the world is struggling to deal with issues and hate, anger and prejudice has raise it’s ugly head at times, here on the path there is indeed hope, especially in the not so secret garden, where flowers bloom spreading hope and love…. 🙂
Like the raspberries loved by the backyard residents.. 🙂
Yes, the residents of the garden, plant and animal, are many, different and live together in harmony… 🙂 A Not So Secret Garden I live in a not so secret garden Along the path least traveled, Quite unlike the other world A world that has become unraveled. A garden of peace and harmony Being different does not matter here, All creatures, big and small, living together Unlike the other world, they do not live in fear. Together we live the hand that Fate has dealt us Not sure, or dwell, on our final destiny, But live to enjoy the moment, the hour, the day That is what life is about, don’t you see. So into the not so secret garden I will venture Along the path least traveled, To find love, understanding, to follow one’s dreams Unlike the other world unraveled. (Larry “Dutch” Woller )I feel like waltzing through the flowers, care to join me?… 🙂
Well, had best stop the music and get on with the day… adventures lie in wait for me, looking forward to learning more about me and the universe… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂
Until we meet again.. May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face The rains fall soft upon your fields May green be the grass you walk on May blue be the skies above you May pure be the joys that surround you May true be the hearts that love you. (Irish Saying)
I enjoy stopping by at your Not So Secret Garden. We humans are masters at complicating our lives.

I would choose “to venture into the light, follow my heart and dreams and live life”. Otherwise life becomes something to be endured rather than enjoyed.
