Silver in the Sun

“As I look back the old remembered ways –

Some hours shine out like silver in the sun;

A spangled brightness lighting up the days,

And marking them with beauty, one by one.

Yet, as I lived them – strange I did not know

Which hours were destined thus to live and shine,

And which among the countless ones would grow

To be peculiarly, for ever mine.”

From Silver in the Sun by Grace Noll Crowell, 1927.

We don't know what the future holds.  We don't know what moments will become important, so we need to treasure the moments that make us smile.  And when I saw this photo, it made me smile.  (And doesn't the garden look wonderful!).  I'm grateful for magical moments...
