The Magic of Orginary Days

Within you 

there is a stillness 

and a sanctuary 

to which you can retreat 

any time.

~ Hermann Hesse

Enough already!

Enough already with the sunflowers!

But they're all over the yard.

Then go buy something else at the store.

Just not the same.

~ conversation with myself

For happiness one needs security, 

but joy can spring like a flower 

even from the cliffs of despair. 

~ Anne Morrow Lindberg

Happy Memorial Day

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag,
but in striving that our country
shall be righteous as well as strong.
Happy Memorial Day !!

The Arrangement

Keep love in your heart.

A life without it is like a sunless garden

when all the flowers are dead.

~ Oscar Wilde
