Wow… absolutely lovely Jeanne. Such an inspiring quote you found to accompany your delightful photograph! I enjoy how the wise Mr. Merton combines ‘possibilities and challenges’ for indeed they are intertwined when we learn to really see. A heartening post that has brightened my morning. Thank you my friend! xo hugs, Gina
