 “ Nature

 is too thin a screen; 

the glory of

 the omnipresent 

God

 bursts through

 everywhere. ”

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

" I see them 

through the mesh 

of a sieve. "

Khalil Gibran 

" Still round the corner 
there may wait,
 A new road
 or a secret gate. "

J. R. R. Tolkien

The Lure of Their Becoming

A   L   O   H   A  !

 " When the cloud
 is no longer in the sky,
 it hasn't died. - 

 " The cloud is continued
 in other forms
 like rain or snow 
or ice. -

" Our nature is the nature of 
no birth and no death.
 It is impossible for a cloud 
to pass from being into
 non-being. -

And that is true 
with a beloved person. 
They have not died. 
They have continued 
in many new forms 

and you can look deeply 
and recognize them 
in you 
and around you. "

Thich-Nhat-Hanh

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

A   L   O   H   A  !

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.
