Crystal clear starry nights...used and gazed upon throughout our lovers' plight.
Our minds - the ships; our dreams the fuel...love and space our only tool.

With th'angelic host proclaim; Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Verily, the Universe swims in light. Everything is alive and alight.
Man too is the recipient of inexhaustible radiant energy.
Strange, only in the Mind of Man is there darkness and paralysis.

Pray the prayer of action, which is the fragrant flowering of the soul.

Matthew Arnold 1822-1888 ~ The Tragically Hip (Gordon Downie 1961- ) ...Grace, Too

Only - but this is rare - when a beloved hand is laid in ours,
When, jaded with the rush and glare of the interminable hours,
Our eyes can in another's eyes read clear, when our world-deafened ear
Is by the tones of a loved voice caressed - a bolt is shot back
Somewhere in our breast, and a lost pulse of feeling stirs again;
The eye sinks inward, and the heart lies plain, and what we mean, we say,
And what we would, we know. A man becomes aware of his life's flow.

Dag Hammarskjold 1905-1961 ~ JJ Cale 1938- ...Carry On

We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny.
But what we put into it is ours.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1823-1884 ~ James Taylor 1949- ....Sweet Baby James

But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars...
the stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present,
they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression,
when the mind is open to their influence, nature never wears a mean appearance.
Neither does the wisest of men extort her secret, and lose his curiousity by
finding out all her perfection. Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit.
The flowers, the animals, the mountains reflected the wisdom of his best hour,
as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood.
