Blue has been trailing me lately, showing up in places where I wasn’t expecting it to be, nudging me to slow down, breathe deeper, and pay attention. When I stood at the edge of the shoreline in Maui, Hawaii staring into

Where the Ocean Changes Its Mind

I felt the whole world tilt into calm. The water shifted from turquoise to indigo so effortlessly it reminded me how often I complicate things that are meant to flow. The waves carried their own language, and for a moment, I swear they were speaking directly to me. Later, wandering through my yard, I found myself stopping mid-step for

Silk of the Scabies Bloom

That tiny blue flower looked like it had stolen its color from the morning sky — soft, quiet, and holding more strength than its delicate petals wanted anyone to know. I felt an odd kinship with it, both of us blooming even when no one is watching.

Window in the Clouds

A clean break in the blanket of white, revealing a patch of pure, vivid blue as if heaven had cracked the door and peeked back at me. Blue keeps showing up in my life like that — calm but insistent, soft but bold, stretching, soothing, reminding me to look up, look out, and sometimes look inward.

Each of these photos is a piece of that journey. A reminder that peace doesn’t shout. It glows.
