Gifts

Voltaire
They melt like mist, the solid lands
"There rolls the deep where grew the tree,
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
The hills are shadows, and they flow
From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go."
Tennyson
Winter Glow
“There is always something spiritual
about the approach of winter.
You retire into your innermost chambers and camp
near the small glow
you find there.”
Paul Klee
Within
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters,
compared to what lies within us.”
