Depth beyond Beauty

I first read about Maryam's life in Marrakesh and thought ahh....so magical. But when any one of us takes time to really read a blog, there is often a depth to the writer that reaches right to one's core. Yes, Maryam and her family are creating that fairy-tale like guesthouse in Morocco but read her posts on her work in Rwanda and see another side of her life.

I remember reading long ago that hate was a void and a void could not be fought. A void could only be filled. The void of hate could only be filled with love.

Love...the healer.

Love Friday

Right now because I'm home and not traveling. As delightful and fun as trips can be, I do like my own home, and I like to happily putter at what I want to do. Admittedly my weekdays are rather like other peoples' weekends but what the h. It's the mood still.



Tonight? I plan to meet with other crafty people in my Artist Way group which I've sorely missed this summer. Saturday, a nice little celebration with a friend, maybe a trip to Virginia for a Middle-Eastern festival at one of the churches. I also have a good bunch of collage books from the library to give me a boost of inspiration, and ...there might even be a movie rental...just for me. Dinners will be easy, perhaps some peach cooking, and if the weather continues cool, a switch from iced tea to a pot of hot tea in the afternoon.

I love this transition into almost-fall!!! (Guess who's a September baby!!)

So what is giving you Friday love today??? This lass started this meme and it sounds as if she could use a dose of huggy love today.
