Bubbles

I haven't much to say this afternoon. All is quiet and peaceful at the moment, and I relish it.

I've been slowly working my way through One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I find her writing style challenging, but profound. I was awed in chapter 4 as she described a ray of sunlight hitting a bubble:

"In the light, the sheerness of bubble shimmers. Bands of garnet, cobalt, flowing luminous...

I tilt my hand more to the light and the wave frequencies reinforce on bubble's dome and color bands deepen, fire-blue swirling flame into lurid scarlet. A kaleidoscope planet."

I wonder at the last time I stopped to watch a bubble.  To see its spectrum ever-changing as it rotates under sunlight.

A beautiful miracle so easily overlooked.

"I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment."
