everyday life mosaic


i raised my lens with gentleness this weekend

i entered the doors of everyday life

deep breaths filled me with love

truth wrapped me in it's arms

Christina girl is that you

dreams remain alive

smiles carried me for miles

lay your burdens down- a street corner preacher shouted my way

everyday life danced beneath the sun

hope sealed me

; )

Join mosaic monday and share what you have captured within your lens.

One love~

25 ladlefuls of love:

Christina, a brilliant mosaic, with its images of the beautiful church -- a soaring symbol of man's reach heavenward -- and the gritty reality of street life. Pictures of hope and light and faith and courage -- beautiful.

"Lay your burdens down" is what caught me, too. Great advice, yes?

Ason said...

Yeah, yeah! Lay your burdens down. I'm telling you. Lay em down! I felt that.

Thank you poet! Thank you!

Christina said...

"Lay your burdens down."

I am so glad that some of you felt those words. I did too.
That was always the part of church, that made my grandmother cry. She would wave her hand in the air, toward the sky and cry tears of joy.

This street preacher that waved his bible toward me
(as I walked by) reminded me of days of my childhood.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so sweet with your comments on this m.m. ; )
