Morning Dessert

2012-01-30T03:59:00.000-08:00

Good morning! It's breakfast time and I'm craving for dessert.

It looks yummy, but I may have to save it for dinner, or give it to someone who hasn't eaten anything.

Yeah...

The Climb

Snowy Travel

Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow, Filling the sky and earth below, Over the housetops, over the street, Over the heads of the people you meet. Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along. -- J.W. (Joseph Warren) Watson

Love's Philosophy

2012-01-08T15:00:00.001-08:00

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle -
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother:
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea -
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

Memoir

2011-09-05T12:19:00.000-07:00

I've been very generous. I've left out many things unsought or unfought. And then I've left out a few people unmoved or unloved. How dare me?

And I'll remove the thistle the grass had covered to retain and recover from memory a pasture I've vowed to regain.
