YOU Make the Latitudes

" Give me

 the splendid silent 

sun, 

with all his beams 

full-dazzling! "

Walt Whitman 

This one makes me think

of YOU:

" Nothing makes the earth 
seem so spacious 
as to have friends 
at a distance;
 they make 
the latitudes 
and longitudes. "

Henry David Thoreau 

" I live in that 
solitude
 which is painful
 in youth, 
but delicious
 in the years 
of maturity. "

Albert Einstein

Once we finally make friends
with our human frailty
 and fallibility.  .  .  

"Do you like my green dress?"  Asked the tree

.  .  .  A new strength, worth

 and confidence emerges.  .  .  

.  .  .   From the ashes
of all our failed attempts.

" Walking with a friend
 in the dark 
is better than
 walking alone
 in the light. "

Helen Keller 

" Everything has its wonders,
 even darkness and silence,
 and I learn, 
whatever state I may be in,
 therein to be
 content. "

Helen Keller 

" Once I knew only darkness 
and stillness... 
my life was without past
 or future... 
but a little word 
from the fingers of another
 fell into my hand
 that clutched at emptiness,
 and my heart leaped
 to the rapture of living. "

Helen Keller

Provocateur of Smiles

A   L   O   H   A  !

" The fact that I can plant a seed 
and it becomes a flower, 

- share a bit of knowledge 
and it becomes another's,

- smile at someone 
and receive a smile in return, 

are to me 
continual spiritual exercises. "

Leo Buscaglia 



"Smiles
are like
surgically enhanced
breasts:
nice to see,
but authentic ones
just feel better."
