Party Balloons!

Now those are some party balloons!

Really, they are part of an exhibit from the Hirshhorn Museum.

But boy do they make a statement.

Big, pink, and with polka dots.

They are the king of the party. 😉

Floating Hand Pointer

That’s a cool way to point something out. 

Sort of unexpected sticking out of the wall like that. 

But effective use of visualization. 

The floating hand. 😉

Stained Glass Majesty

There is something about stained glass which is so beautiful and amazing. 

It’s not only artistic and colorful, but also it’s a magical combination of opaqueness and translucence.

It provides cover and privacy from the outside world, yet it plays with the light that comes in through it to give a wonderful effect to any room.

If I could, I would make every room in every building with stained glass. 

I would bask in the light and the color. 

It would feel warm and holy–the light of G-d on me. 

It’s as if G-d and His holy host are streaming in from the Heavens, and surrounding me all about. 

I feel lifted up in space and time stops, all is safe and wonderful in the world. 

Beautiful and holy spiritual energy celebrating, dancing, and singing all around me. 😉

Flower Petals In Water

Just wanted to share these absolutely beautiful flower petals floating on the water. 

G-d’s creations are so wondrous and marvelous.

Frankly, I find it hard to comprehend how He made everything so gorgeous. 

There are plenty of challenges for us in this world to keep us learning and growing. 

But truly, I love that there is some Garden of Eden paradise in this world too. 😉

Swim ~ Splash ~ Swim

At the pool this morning, the fresh clean water was pouring in.

Swimming in the hot sun, I headed straight for the cool splash.

The water was frothing white against the blue background.

As it hit the pool, it created this amazing bubbling beneath the surface.

I swam under it a number of times and came up through the bubbling fresh water.

Sort of felt like I was swimming in a waterfall in the Amazon or something exotic like that.

Hey, I can imagine…but it really was amazing with the water, the sun, the air–felt so alive!

I am thankful to G-d for allowing me this wonderful moment today to feel his beauty in the world.
