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*hehe* (last pic is from the St. Regis Monarch Beach)

"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" -
