  • A red red rose

    O, my luve is like a red red rose
    That's newly sprung in June:
    O, my luve is like the melodie
    That's sweetly played in tune.

    As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
    So deep in luve am I;
    And I will luve thee still, my dear,
    Till a' the seas gang dry.

    Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
    And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
    And I will luve thee still, my dear,
    While the sands o' life shall run.

    And fare thee weel, my only luve!
    And fare thee weel a while!
    And I will come again, my luve,
    Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

    -Robert Burns

  • Grasshopper

    On The Grasshopper And Cricket

    -John Keats



    The poetry of earth is never dead;

    When all the birds are faint with the hot sun,

    And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run

    From hedge to hedge about the new - mown mead;

    That is the grasshopper`s - he takes the lead

    In summer luxury, - he has never done

    With his delights, for when tired out with fun

    He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.

    The poetry of earth is ceasing never:

    On a lone winter evening, when the frost

    Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills

    The cricket`s song, in warmth increasing ever,

    And seems to one in drowsiness half lost,

    The grasshopper`s among some grassy hills.





    A field...






    Some ladybugs...










    And a big fat grasshopper jumping at you!

    "Life is a moving image, unfolding and changing beyond our control. Despite our desire to freeze a moment or go back into the past and alter events, time presses us forward."
    -From "The Memory Keeper's Daughter"

    "Live for today but hold your hands open to tomorrow...There is a seed of God's love in every event, every circumstance, every unpleasant situation in which you may find yourself."
    -Barbara Johnson

  • Arboretum of Los Angeles County

    "It is an extraordinary and beautiful thing that God, in creation...works with the beauty of matter; the reality of things; the discoveries of the senses, all five of them; so that we, in turn, may hear the grass growing; see a face springing to life in love and laughter.... The offerings of creation...our glimpses of truth."


    -Madeliene L'Engle

  • Butterflies

    May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun

    And find your shoulder to light on,


    To bring you luck, happiness and riches


    Today, tomorrow and beyond.


    ~Irish Blessing




    Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne


    I've watched you now a full half-hour;


    Self-poised upon that yellow flower


    And, little Butterfly! Indeed


    I know not if you sleep or feed.


    How motionless! - not frozen seas


    More motionless! and then


    What joy awaits you, when the breeze


    Hath found you out among the trees,


    And calls you forth again!


    ~William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"
