this is my favorite season: early spring, filled with color, texture, and growth. while on the horizon is summer in its wild abundance. each night, my backyard maple tree sings in the sunset light.

i'm awed by big things--gorgeous vistas or heroic actions. yet i'm inspired by little things--delicate bits of nature, small acts of kindness, and slices of sunlight on my dining-room floor. it's the little things (so tender) that make me smile. they provide me hope and inspiration.

there's beauty and mystery within my own backyard, just like there's beauty and mystery within myself. i only need to open my heart and mind, and pay attention—with curiosity and kindness.
