“The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count
our blessings" ~ Eric Hoffer Blessings Heaped are all my winnings none worn out enough to fade to dull some shapeless but clear to the eye Blessings piled high upon my shoulders none too heavy to carry more a feather-like weight lifting and continually gifting Words carved not with blade or chisel...

“We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.”
~ Kahil G ibran Wings Dare we disregard dismiss or deny each morsel of beauty that passes or slips into our sight lines Surely it should garner our full attention It creeps not in a loud, decisive tone nor does it march or thunder It sweeps in slow drift and sway upon air fresh and sweet It trickles...

“Because there is, there is not, and because there is not, there is.”
~ Chuang Tzu Movement Such mystery in our hidden fates in vows broken or vows kept upon faces hidden or marked with charm melting in flames or like Phoenix rising Though sometimes riddled our futures hold both dusk and dawn serenade and scream sand and pearl both flesh and blood Thankful we are and...

"Life without Love is like a harp without strings." ~ ~~~~~~~~~~
Haven Without love there would be only bitterness house without home A pen would write in vain and whispers would become a pantomime In a world narrow and short dull and thinning our spirits would cease to sing In gape and wonder we search for the echoes of love and its nurturing light and glimmer...

“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts” but if he
will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties” ~ Francis Bacon Line Opaque ideas turned translucent with each and every doubt Bubble-like epiphanies popped when the pin drops whether we hear it or not Hard and fast rules broken or coated with cobwebs of defiant thinking Stable...

“Sit in reverie, and watch the changing color of the waves that break
upon the idle seashore of the mind ” ~ Longfellow Crashing Jade the colour of my thinking The night sighs of wind and rain the melody of my reminiscence Red fierce yet ultimately beautiful courses through my veins with beat and fury Green the portrait of my dormant envy Shaded yet still awash with...

"...the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind” ~ Einstein
