Emily Bronte 1818-1848 ~ Blood, Sweat & Tears (David Clayton-Thomas 1941- ) ...Spinning Wheel

There isnot room for Death nor Atom that his might could render void
Since thou art Being and Breath and what thou art may never be destroyed.

Rumi 1207-1273 ~ Henry Mancini 1924-1993 & Johnny Mercer 1909-1976 ...Moon River - The Innocence Mission (Karen & Don Peris)

Each night the moon secretly kisses the lover who counts the stars.

Marguerite Porette #-1310 ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ...What Was It You Wanted?

If you look to something outside yourself for an increase in love,
you will see shadows in the flickering flames.
But if you burn with the pure fire of love,
without looking for anything outside to add to it,
you will see things clearly as they are.

Robert Frost 1874-1963 ~ Gordon Lightfoot 1938- ... Don Quixote

I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in the wood, and I - I took the one
less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Mary Oliver 1935- ~ Anne Murray 1945- ...Snowbird

...Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

Mother Theresa 1910-1997 ~ Taylor Mitchell 1990-2009 ...The Prayers We Light

The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.

François de la Rochefoucauld 1613-1680 ...Wild Is The Wind ~ Nina Simone 1933-2003

Absence weakens mediocre passions and increases great ones,
as the wind blows out candles and kindles fires.

Galatians 5:22 ~ Earth, Wind And Fire (Maurice White/Philip Bailey/Verdine White/Larry Dunn/Al McKay) ...That's The Way Of The World

For the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness and faithfulness.

Albert Einstein 1879-1955 ~ Neil Diamond 1941- ...Solitary Man

A human being is part of the whole, called by us the Universe. A part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest,
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is part of a prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening
our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures.
