_________

Remember that time
when you wished the day could last forever?

That day at the beach

We ran, built sandcastles, told stories
Swam like fish in the sea.

We saw the sunset
but continued playing

Willing the adults to stay

Timeless moments

Sweet joy and freedom forever

“Exquisite”

“And what of the clouds?” she says
“They dance the beauty of your soul,” he replies

Deep.
Sacred.

Such is the true nature of passion.

The Heart unfolds its layers
offers its mysteries
opens and softens to Love

Invites the Known
Risks the Unknown

Will the Light expand or the Heart be veiled again?

the Beauty is constant
Passion still alive

Soul’s gift –
Always living from the Exquisite

“Imagine…Precious”

hstraube_2014_plumcovegloucesterma_sunsetwave_500K-8011

Imagine what it must feel like…
to truly know that

You are Precious.

A gem of great beauty
Shining in the universe

Tenderly cared for
Deeply valued

Impossible to dim.

Feel it.

Be it.

Live it.

“Vast Love”

Silence.

the wonder of the universe

Infinite possibilities, life desires made real
Freedom to explore, coziness to return

Vast love.

This I wish for you.

Photographer’s Note:

The last day of my stay of nearly two years on Cape Cod, I repeated a favorite morning ritual – A greeting to those at the wonderful PB Boulangerie bistro, purchase of a latte and pain de chocolate, and continued drive down the road to the beach that I love.

It was May, still quiet season; me alone on the bluff, a small boy & his parents quietly walking the beach. A perfect experience to be gifted with, in a magical place –
A bittersweet farewell, but never a final good-bye.
