  • Zoom in with Your Heart

    Mourning doves perching on top of the roof, setting sun hitting on their wings as they flipped them open, not sure if to enjoy the sun or the breeze. I can see their soft feathers tickled by the gentle breeze. There are three of them, like a gathering before dark. A squirrel came from out…

  • Once in a Blue Moon

    Mark the calendar, it’s the last day of May, 2026. You are here, now! Reading. Breathing. Mending chores of life. That itself worth celebrating!
