Celebrate!

[Julie Kenward]

Celebrate your life!
Let every moment move you
Let every thought uplift you
Let every day remake you

Celebrate all life!
Amidst His bold creation
Among His brazen creatures
Alongside His other children
Celebrate our lives!
Lift up your joyous hearts
Lift out your upturned hands
Let joyousness abound
Celebrate!

Thanks for officially starting my Summer Solstice celebration, Jules.

This is just the perfect Celebration poem. And what photo do you pick? A GREEN photo, of course, with new life unfolding right before our eyes. I feel like that plant is groing even as I look at it.

The words are dynamic, the photo is dynamic - perfect combination.

This settles it. Your post has motivated me to get up early and shoot before work tomorrow. How can I not?

Jules, A very uplifting and spiritual poem. I can't help but smile after reading it! Your image matches your words perfectly -as if you created them together.

Thanks Lance and Denise. I have had this image for over a month and wasn't quite sure what to do with it...tonight it finally came together.

I love clematis and grow several different kinds on a section of fence near my home because they all do this. Every day you can go out and see those little hands reaching up towards the sun and heaven...it gets me every time!

The image perfectly complements your words. The new shoots off the stalk mirror those feelings conveyed. Congrats! :)
