Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference

With those 22 words, Robert Frost concisely summarized my life. The road I chose has been rift with rabbit trails which, more oft than not, my innate impulsive, adventurous spirit couldn’t resist exploring. Therein lies my life’s greatest joys and sorrows . . . triumphs and trails. 

Such were my yesterdays, now buried in the past. The future owns all my unknown tomorrows.  Today alone is God’s gift to embrace, explore and enjoy.  Perhaps Amy Charmichael penned my life’s credo . . .

Love to live, live to love

After 8 decades I’ve finally begun to grasp the serene simplicity of Amy’s 6 words which, when truly embraced, convey tranquil comfort, soul soothing joy, and mystical peace. I’m truly blessed to still be able to “Love to live wandering through the wilderness and climbing among my Creator’s majestic mountain cathedrals, astounded in wonder by its utter magnificence. 

Love to live” is my portion to joyfully grasp with both hands each new day. “Live to love is my portion to share with open hands each new day. My prayer is amidst my musings and ‘creationscapes’ my camera captures, someone may glimpse a Love to live, live to lovemoment that will brighten their day.

Keep Looking Up ^ . . . His Best is Yet to Come!
