“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: It’s loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness…” -John Keats

It’s true, isn’t it? There is joy in simplicity, as if its loveliness continues to unfold and echo, perhaps into eternity. So often the intricacy of a moment is left un-noticed, unclaimed by the human heart. It is a longing of mine to be present to each moment and express its particular charm. That’s what this space is for: drawing the eye to moments of joy while honoring life’s inexplicable perplexities.
