Crystal Visions

The journey has been tumultuous. Companions have defected. The last recognizable landmark passed ages ago.

Instead of the anticipated oasis, lonely wilderness lies ahead. This unforgiving landscape is traversed only by the longsuffering

This is when the Crystal Vision becomes our necessity.

The knowledge that, somewhere, beauty thrives and abundance exists becomes our sustenance.

Small tokens, busy collecting dust on the shelves of our memories, must be re-examined, held cautiously to the light. We’re spurred forward by these reminders of previous deserts crossed, natural wonders marveled at, and fiercely intimate connections past. 

A hope is ignited. More than that, a silent knowledge.

Beauty beyond our vision lies ahead.

Step forward, courageously, into the wilderness.

Forever in Service to the Muse, -Kelly Ormsby
