Silver Path, Rainbow Trail

Oceans below my wing,
still and wide, Clouds drift soft
where dreams abide.
Silver path Crossing seas
Dreams of home
Waiting for me.
Yet time stands still
In the hush of flight— Horizons kissed
By fading light.

 The supreme accomplishment 
is to blur the line 
between work and play. 
                 Arnold Toynbee




In the all-too-brief time we’re on the planet, we need to pack it with all the joy, beauty, and goodness we can, and that’s true even when conditions are difficult (perhaps even more so). John Pavlovitz




When you look at things
from a different perspective
your thinking begins to change
but so often we see
things as problems
because we refuse to
change our perspective.
Sope Agbelusi

Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking. Frederick Buechner,

Dionne wasn't the first to record the song, but I think hers is the best.
