“I almost wish we were butterflies 
and liv'd but three summer days - 
three such days with you 
I could fill with more delight 
than fifty common years 
could ever contain.” 
               John Keats





 " Vexed sailors 
cursed the rain, for 
which poor shepherds 
prayed in vain.
        Edmund Waller













“When the Sun of compassion 
arises darkness evaporates 
and the singing birds 
come from nowhere.” 
            Amit Ray





Nature makes her 
own arrangements.
These three are 
ever seen together,
grooming, drinking, 
sleeping [often 
on my lawn] 
in the shady 
afternoon sun.
Isn't that wonderful!

"As human beings, 
our job in life is 
to help people realize 
how rare and valuable 
each one of us really is, 
that each of us has 
something that no one else has
--or ever will have--




Three of the Ages of Woman
- something inside that 
is unique to all time. 
It's our job to encourage 
each other to discover that 
uniqueness and to provide ways 
of developing its expression." 
                      Fred Rogers

“Silence is not empty 
or immaterial. . .  
It often guards powers 
strong enough to 
shatter everything.”
