“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”–Rachel Carson
I must confess I have a favorite word…it is a word I don’t use often, nor do I find ways to incorporate it into my conversations…like those common words: COOL, DUDE, YA KNOW…I don’t even sprinkle in this word here and there
but it is a word I think describes how I feel on a daily basis….
The word is Dazzle.
I feel dazzled as sun touches the word’s edge…morning or evening
Or the glittering lights sparkle on the ripples, making the rather muddy irrigation water twinkle like jewels — sending a blessing to all the water touches
Even the run, to check water, in the deep silence of the night brings out the sky drenched with twinkling stars, or moonlight seeping into everything — turning the world to silver
I feel a most profound and deep joy when the horizon is edged with a Rainbow…
Or the color of flowers is captured in a heap of clouds
I must confess I am most blessed…living on this amazing earth, which sails noiselessly between the stars
Dazzled…that pretty much sums up how I feel about life.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Dazzle what a super word and feeling. We are thankful. My gal friend in South Dakota use the word Shimmer—–haha

no-1 can? feel XXX-actlee what another feels — but, on the other hand, mebbe sew. your comment on the “sun touch(ing) the world’s edge — morning or evening” is especially pertinent to me. I too, will just stop and gaze, feel the wonder, what I sometimes call the “n + 1” ~
