within you.
Ask all from yourself.

I really just want
to be warm yellow light
that pours
over everyone I love.

melodious thoughts
Why are there trees I never walk under,
but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
~Walt Whitman, (1819 – 1892)
lie down by a slow river
The dream of my life
Is to lie down by a slow river
And stare at the light in the trees-
To learn something by being nothing
A little while but the rich
Lens of attention.

all we were born to do
There are hearts to be found in quiet places… Here are a few I’ve photographed recently.
A lilac heart.
A sweet woodruff heart.
Bleeding hearts.
A yarrow heart.
I think passing love around
Is all we were born to do.
~Michael McDonald
May your day be touched by love.
Spring
Twinkling like the morning star along a quiet trail near our home, a bloodroot unfurls delicate petals…
As I was scrolling through my photo archives this morning, this image called to mind a simple line of poetry I whisper to myself each year. I’m posting it here to celebrate the joyous arrival of the vernal equinox. xo
Nothing is so beautiful as Spring —
~Gerard Manley Hopkins, (1844 – 1889)

My wish for you is that you continue.
Continue to be who
and how you are,
to astonish a mean world
with your acts of kindness.
Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden
of your tender heart.
~Maya Angelou, (1928 – 2014)
wordless
