seeing beauty

there it was;

this little tree.

standing all alone

rustling in the wind-

the branches

looked like red sticks,

the leaves orange and yellow.

behind the little tree

stood an old office building.

to the people

who work in this office

and walk by that tree

everyday...

they most likely

are too busy to see the 

simple beauty.

using the pixlr-o-matic app.

my daughter saw my photo-

i had posted it

on instagram.
she added

this text:

the earth is full

of Your lovingkindness,

O Lord.

oh yes,

the earth is full of

beauty-

full of wonder-

we just need to be

willing to look.

to take the time out of 

our lives...

to look through that window.

to see the small tree

leaning

against an aging building.

to see the beauty that 

is in every single day.

join me

will you?

in taking the time

today, 

to simply

see something 

beautiful.
