A small warmth gently comes to mind on the windowsill where raindrops shine.
Cyclamens decorate the windowsill and adorable handmade Halloween decorations. The pumpkins wearing witch hats look like little guardians watching over the town.
It was an afternoon that warmed my heart with the quiet thoughtfulness of the townspeople who had kindly provided it.
Then, as if to bless their sincerity, a gift from heaven appeared outside the window of the swaying train.
The light filtering through the dull clouds creates a magnificent double rainbow. The seven colors of light cross the grey sky like a sure sign of hope.
It was the first time I had ever seen a rainbow where each color touched my heart so deeply.
A small guardian deity at the window and a bridge of happiness spanning the sky.
In this irreplaceable moment when our hearts are quietly filled, we are filled with overflowing love, gratitude and prayers.
