"My Keen- Relish Writing Muse This Afternoon..."

                               Sometimes true inspiration comes & presents itself when you least expect it. This beautiful, tangible expression of grace --and profoundly, much more than serendipity. Just look at this precious "little muse" staring at me while I'm flipping pages of Artful Blogging magazine. I wish I knew how to make her understand that she's just so cute and a real gem to my sight. She must have just turned a year old. I tried to entice her to a  conversation as she stood in front of me but remained a stellar sight. 
Then...I just took a snapshot of her just like that with my iPhone. Never even ask her mom which I'm sure  was just a few yards away. Didn't even get the baby's name. Mom finally showed up. She was elated to have seen her baby trying to make a point, with her own body language. 
To tell you the truth, wherever I go (be it in grocery stores, bookstores, recreation parks, etc.), little children and grade-school children do throw me that confident/ glowing smile  many countless occasions. They even say "hello" to me  without qualms that I am a stranger just passing by. 
Does it transcend to them that my first love has always been  around teaching children? And that I still take pride doing it? 

 By the way, that was the highlight of my afternoon "me time."  One of the things I know for sure is not to be hesitant of wanting to capture, engage and be fully present in what's worth captivating. Your heart tells you that. It is still your greatest barometer to making things happen. We should never cease to see elements of gratitude and zest.

Goodnight.
