Luz
Posted by Desert Diva on Saturday, June 21st, 2008
Hidden in the shadows, someone recently showed me that they cared – that someone was Luz of New Beginnings. I met Luz on Flickr, as a result of first meeting her boyfriend Mario and commenting on his photos. Luz asked me to send her my address, and I was fully expecting to receive a card. However, going to my mailbox today I was amazed to see the newest CD by Ottmar Leibert – “The Scent of Light.” (Luz and I are both “fanmencos” of Ottmar Liebert.) Tears come easily these days, and I found myself “teary” on my way to have my morning latte.
Even with my rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, I know that La Luz means “The Light.” I don’t believe that it was a coincidence that Luz in her own special way was sending me “light” in my hour of darkness. I can’t thank Luz enough for taking the time out of her busy life to show me that someone cares and I’m not alone in my struggles. Additionally, my regular blog friends have been wonderful also with words of concern and support.
So, thank you Luz – for caring and thinking of me.

Aww, shucks…now you’re making me teary eyed with your kind words. Blogging and Flickring have blessed me ten-fold as well and these days I try to give just as I have received. Enjoy the music–as I am right now drinking my tea.
What a wonderful gesture.
People come into our lives in the most unexpected ways.
I’d suggest two things that would always be handy: a small, sturdy tripod and a remote cable to aid you in continuing to photograph while you are healing.
Here is a good article for inspiration.

Best wishes…
I do believe people are placed in our lives to touch our hearts and lives….
Just doing some catching up while we are in transit to KY. I do hope your travels are going well and your spirit is healing.
