+ Her Barefoot Heart

a recounting

in the space of two scant hours, my morning turns undeniably magical.

one, i read:

The summit of the soul is like a mountain top which has been hidden in the clouds, but from which the clouds now melt away, leaving the peak free in the clear upper air through which it receives the full light of the sun.

~ Thomas Merton

two, i see:

Cloudmelting2

and this:

Cloudmelting3

3, i round the curve to :

Cloudmelting1

i love
when a day
comes together
and reaches
a solid
10
before 10.

    Ah, the mountains are quite lovely, aren’t they? There’s a reason I’m falling in love with Northwest Georgia, after all. 😉 So glad the morning brought you such beauty in both words and visual delights.

    Also, I would now like to be magically transported to the mountains.

    • whollyjeanne

      i would like that, too – especially if we could see that you were transported to my mountain. wouldn’t that be a kick?

    Ahh.  Thank you for the words and pictures.  More magic: seconds before this post appeared in my inbox, I took a book of Merton off my shelf. xo

      WOW! Love that. Love you.

Pull up a chair why don't you, and let's talk . . .
