Talismans

A  L  O  H  A !


“ Come, Boy, sit down. 
Sit down and rest."
And the boy did.
And the tree
 was happy. ”
  
Shel Silverstein,  
The Giving Tree










... here is the deepest secret
 nobody knows

 (here is the root of the root 
and the bud of the bud 
and the sky of the sky
 of a tree called life;

 which grows higher
 than the soul can hope
 or mind can hide) 

and this is the wonder 
that's keeping the stars apart

 I carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart).

e.e. cummings 
(1894 - 1962)











Life's Path
 
" Move outside the tangle
 of fear-thinking.
Live in silence. ” 

Rumi

  1. Thank you Cloudia, I am going to find a tree to stand under today. (It's too damp and cold to sit yet.) Every Blessing

  4. That old e.e. was absolutely a sentimentalist.

    Sweet sweet silence, forever be thy name.

    How have you been? Wait, don't answer that. I know you're great and have been so because you are the one and only CLOUDIA who does dance beneath the Hawaiin moon and breathes in joy at ever jingle of her ankle bells.
