Dreaming of summer flowers,
And days that once were beautiful,
when we were both still blooming.

Let us come alive to the splendour that is all around us, and see beauty in ordinary things~

'When we look at the starry sky, a beauty arises before us that delights and blissfully fills us. And a feeling will come into our soul that majestically covers and silences all our suffering and sorrows...'

Adalbert Stifter

'I never heard of anyone who was really literate or who ever really loved books who wanted to suppress any of them.'

In the greening,
In the vitality,
In the lushness
of spring,
I worship Viriditas

Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change~

Katherine Mansfield

I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.
There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.
Then the knowing comes: I can open
to another life that's wide and timeless.

RM Rilke

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Shakespeare, As You Like It

'Now I know it better every year and can tell people better all the time that there is a great deal of beauty in the world — almost nothing but beauty.'

Rainer Maria Rilke

'Be out of sync with your times for just one day, and you will see how much eternity you contain within you.'

Rainer Maria Rilke

“The swallow is come!
The swallow is come!
O, fair are the seasons, and light
Are the days that she brings,…”

◦Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Hyperion (1839)

This morning I watched the tree swallows courting and mating.

'What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?'

- George Eliot

'Between what is said and not meant and what is meant and not said, most of the love is lost.' Khalil Gibran

Eagles soar
Trading places on the nest
Soon the young will hatch
Mouths to feed
I am blessed to see them soar.

Have a good weekend all.
My painting EAGLE SOARING

Whether
your cup
is half-full
or half-empty
remind yourself
there are others
without one
