In the way of your instructions lies my joy, a joy beyond all wealth
Psalm 119:14


What's there to smile about today?
the sweetness of God's decrees in these trying times and of course, if you can, buying fruit from street vendors again, Wednesday gone i bought delicious fragrant pineapple.

"birds wings await dry sky"

Sometimes I wonder
how the wings of birds dry
after a wetting.
