Best Day Ever

I have never seen a magnolia flower. At least I know I must have, but I do not remember ever seeing one. They are huge, like something out of an imaginary land. So big and tropical, like water liles but all over a tree and standing up like candles. So amazing.

One thing about me, is that I rarely do things completely alone. That is one thing, I've lost with being married and with the socially surrounded times in my life. Being alone, being out in the world alone is one of the most magical times. Because I don't feel alone at all. I feel led and guided and accompanied
by God. From the moment I step on the bus, I am filled with all that could be ahead. There is Never any disapointment because my Joy and Peace and Silliness are perfectly understood and absolutely dignified. In fact, it's like I say, "It's So beautiful" and God says, "Isn't it - but there's more.." It's always More. I'm never laughed at - never misunderstood. I can walk around and around a tree for as long as I want, until I notice the cold and the night coming on.

I can gasp, I can dance, I can be totally bewildered by beauty.

Really? This is earth. This is a park. This is a tree.

I don't think so. It's something beyond human comprehension, it's a secret, and it's all for me!
God winks.

and I continue down the path.

p.s. i only planned to kiss the flower and ended up drinking a raindrop.
