Real joy means immediate expansion. If we experience pure joy, immediately our heart expands. We feel that we are flying in the divine freedom-sky. The entire length and breadth of the world becomes ours, not for us to rule over, but as an expansion of our consciousness. We become reality and vastness.

When Angels Cry (Weekly Photo Challenge: Perspective) 2
- When Angels Cry
Yes, I’ve finally learned
That love is just a four letter word
Hope is a four letter word. — Janis Ian
It’s the last line of Janis Ian’s song, “When Angels Cry.”
When I was trying to decide what to photograph for this week’s WordPress photo challenge, the glimmer of the angel’s tear caught my eye. She watches over the grave of our Welsh Corgi, our true angel. I know he would not want to cause tears unless they were tears of joy.
That is why I spent time looking for songs about angels crying until I found the perfect one to go with this photo. During the process I found other songs about angels crying that I also liked including:
- Doro’s Even Angels Cry
- Jars of Clay’s song by the same name, Even Angels Cry
- Mariah Carey’s Angels Cry
All four songs are excellent, but Janis Ian’s song spoke to me for the purpose of this post because it really describes our angel.
Although I do believe angels can cry, this angel’s tears were simply raindrops as you can see in the second photo below.
Raindrops, not tears.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned 2
Hawaii Foster Youth Coalition
Abandoned
We all get caught up in our lives and forget there are so many who have worse problems than we do, so today I am grateful that I had parents who supported me, and I salute children in foster care who have so many obstacles to overcome. May the world become a kinder place for them and may their families heal from whatever destroyed them. Bless everyone who helps them with this goal.
This post is inspired by the WordPress weekly photo challenge:

Weekly Photo Challenge: Treasure (Highly Valued) 2
My son’s history project.
A place where memories were made.
I treasure my hubby for helping me capture this shot.
Gotta treasure Mother Nature.
Love how well it photographs on rainy days.
Love adding more flowers.
This week for the WordPress photo challenge, Krista asked us, “What do you treasure? What’s important to you?”
There are so many treasures in this world. Personally, I’m grateful for the simple treasures like time spent with family, friends, our pets and Mother Nature. What about you? What do you treasure?
