Living

"Think of your child; then, not as dead, but as living;
not as a flower that has withered, but as one that is transplanted,
and touched by a divine hand,
is blooming in richer colors and
sweeter shades than those on earth."
~ Richard Hooker
(But remember that we are the transplants...
heaven is our native ground.)

I wasn't sure if I mentioned to you or not that I left an "Attitude of Gratitude" award for you on my blog. In the "Thank You" post. I know you have a lot on your plate, and it is one of those awards that makes you work to accept it, so don't feel badly if you are to busy. : ) I just wanted you to know you inspire me and hold a special place in my heart.

Yes, we are "aliens and strangers" on this earth, aren't we?

Beautiful photo, as always. If you'll email me through my profile I'll be happy to send you some info about how to publish your photos in a larger size.
