Reflections: I think I am exactly where I need to be in life right now. Every one of my experiences, good and bad, are responsible for having led me to this place… this place I call home in my heart.
“As in water - face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man.” Proverbs 27:19
It was the perfect night for a stroll among the monuments, paying homage to some of America's greatest political thinkers.

“I have but one system of ethics for men and for nations - to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements and under all circumstances, to be open and generous.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
When you finally come into full bloom, you will live with your heart wide open, the fragrance of love and joy, sharing and caring drifting all the way through to the next garden.
Today is a perfect day for a perfect day! I've said this before, but, when it is full and unavoidably true, it requires to be said again and again.
In a sea of people, it is so hard to stand out. Break through and be free. Hidden in one view, they become visible in another.
Today is a #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108, where we share our day in the most possibly beautiful way that we can. So a walk along the monuments and toiling with the flowers and we can call it a day, a definitely #SublimeSunday in the making, by the Meister of my morning, @c0ff33a. I do love my @c0ff33 and he likes eclectic! A match made in heaven.

Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world. I dedicate this picture to #SundayPurple (ish) and #MondayRed by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day!
Oh, your loveliness carries soft delicate feelings - like a warm whisper passing swiftly by.
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these challenges and just so you know, although much sun and shine was used up today, I can guarantee that there is still a little left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire i cried the way women on tv do folding at the middle like a five pound note. i called the boy who use to love me tried to ‘okay’ my voice i said hello he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying, and these are what my prayers look like; dear god i come from two countries one is thirsty the other is on fire both need water.
later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered, "where does it hurt?" it answered,
"everywhere" "everywhere" "everywhere"
