THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love."
~ Washington Irving ~

E.E. Cummings

It May Not Always Be So; And I Say

it may not always be so; and i say

that if your lips,which i have loved,should touch

another’s,and your dear strong fingers clutch

his heart,as mine in time not far away;

if on another’s face your sweet hair lay

in such silence as i know,or such

great writhing words as,uttering overmuch,

stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;

if this should be,i say if this should be—

you of my heart,send me a little word;

that i may go unto him,and take his hands,

saying,Accept all happiness from me.

Then shall i turn my face,and hear one bird

sing terribly afar in the lost lands

Now I Lay Me Down

Thought for the Day

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. 

Hal Borland

INFINITY ON HIGH

"Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all."
Vincent Van Gogh
