“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.” – Stephen King
I know this sounds silly…..but sometimes the world, the sky, the very air we breath is so excitingly beautiful!
I give thanks for allowing to be alive, to experience this very existence of such a wonderful earth we live upon.
From my heart to your world,

Linda, thank you for the gift of this blog. I feel sad for those who never experience the awe of existence. Hugs, Sandy

Stephen King is a man that feels deeply which is why his writing is so rich. I too understand your awe with the very existence of life here. I’m right here with mouth wide open as well. Every day is wonderfilled.
