Rain - a blessing

Rain – a blessing

Sunshine – a blessing

Live as you want to live.

"Why should I fear death ...."

Why should I fear death?

If I am, then death is not.

If Death is, then I am not.

Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?

Long time men lay oppressed with slavish fear.

Religious tyranny did domineer.

At length the mighty one of Greece

Began to assent the liberty of man.

Epicurus

"And the day came ...."

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Anais Nin

"Hail to the happy hour ...."

Hail to the happy hour! when fancy led

My pensive mind this flow’ry path to tread;

And gave me emulation to presume

With timid art to trace fair Nature’s bloom:

To view with awe the great Creative power

That shines confess’d in the minutest flower;

With wonder to pursue the glorious line,

And gratefully adore the Hand Divine!

Mrs Mary Delany

An open heart

An open heart

Gathers blossoms

In every cell

In every nook.
