A Perfect Equity

A   L   O   H   A  !

If you want some lies 

to be believed 

wrap them up

in truths. 

Danish Proverbs

You can lock your door 

from a thief, but not 

from a damned liar.

   Virgin Islander Saying

Eyes - Windows of the Soul

You do not lead 

by hitting people 

over the head.

That's assault,

not leadership.

             Dwight Eisenhower

Justice is not postponed. 

A perfect equity 

adjusts it’s balance 

in all parts of life.

The dice of God 

are always loaded.

 Emerson

We have the greatest 

power 

through love 

that can be known. 

It overcomes everything 

with its fierce and 

steady truth, if 

you can continue 

to stand in it.

" Opportunities 

are like windows

 in time. 

You can choose to

 ignore them. But, 

they don't come back. 

Or, you can choose

 to jump into them, 

and you never know

 what you may find. "

" A little noiseless noise

 among the leaves,
 Born of the very sign

 that silence heaves. "
 

John Keats

" The sun that shines across the sea,

 the wind that whispers in the tree,

 the lark that carols in the sky,

 the fleecy clouds a-sailing by.

O, I'm as rich as rich can be
 

for all these things belong to me. "

walk in the rain,

 was the rain, 

pattering softly

 with the magnificent

 indifference 

of nature

 for the tangled passions 

of humans. ”

 “ Heaven knows

 we need never be ashamed 

of our tears,

overlying 

our hard hearts. ”

Call Me Sybil

A  L  O  H  A !

" Long before our time

 they called her old,
But she'd walk down the same road

 every day.
Her age became

 too much to say
In years — and, like a forest's,

 would be told-

" In centuries. 

She comes to stand at dusk —
Her spot each time the same —

 and to foretell.
She is a hollow,

 wrinkled husk,
Dark

 as a fire-gutted citadel.

" She has to turn

 her flock of talking

 loose
Or it will grow

 too crowded

 to relieve.
Flapping and screaming, 

words are flying 

all

Around her. 

Then, returning home

 to roost,
They find a perch

 beneath her eyebrows' eaves,
And in that shadow

 wait for night to fall. "

Rainer Maria Rilke

 <>[}:{]<>

I too know

centuries of

experience

[ not ALL of it

my own ] 

 Go out

each day,

returning to this 

spot.

Words

flap,

emerge,

fly about.

OK,

maybe I tease them,

a bit,

am pleased by them,

even 'sneeze'

them.

But they roost

not only in my

eyes

[ my photos ]

Miracle!

They roost

in YOUr heart!

Thank YOU

for giving my words,

my eyes,

a noble home.
