The shade hugs my heart"

"So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,

And yet anon repairs his drooping head,

And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore,

Flames in the forehead of the morning sky."

                          John Milton

 "When people talk, 

listen completely.

 Most people

 never listen."

one moment of anger, 

you will escape a 

hundred days of sorrow.”

             Chinese Proverb

" See the geese in chevron flight 

flapping and racing on before the snow 

They've got the urge for going 

and they've got the wings 

so they can go 

They get the urge for going…

October Light Flight

A  L  O  H  A !

"There is no season 

when such pleasant 

and sunny spots may be 

lighted on, and produce

 so pleasant an effect 

on the feelings, as

 now in October." 

                 Nathaniel Hawthorne

“Let yourself be open 

and life will be easier. 

A spoon of salt in 

a glass of water makes 

the water undrinkable. 

A spoon of salt in a 

lake is almost unnoticed.”

                      Buddha

"What I love is near at hand, 

Always, in earth and air."

           Theodore Roethke

"I saw old Autumn 

in the misty morn

Stand, shadowless 

like Silence, listening

To Silence."

            Thomas Hood

 “Take a music bath once 

or twice a week for 

a few seasons, and 

you will find that 

it is to the soul what 

the water bath is 

to the body.”

            Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Getting lost was not a 
matter of geography 
so much as identity,
a passionate desire, 
even an urgent need, 
to become no one and anyone,
to shake off the shackles 
that remind you who you are,
who others think you are."

                 Rebecca Solnit
