signs of an Artist
Sweet little sculptures Gold leaves dance through a sunbeam The thumbprints of God! *** *** Author's note: These days I'm agnostic... That said, there are times when I lean close to a sense of belief... When I see beauty in the natural world and it makes my breath catch for a second-- often times, the beauty can be quite small, to the point where it runs the danger of feeling mundane.
