when every leaf is a flower."

Dream-Dust

Gather out of star-dust, 

Earth-dust, 

Cloud-dust, 

Storm-dust, 

And splinters of hail, 

One handful of dream-dust, 

Not for sale.

 ― Langston Hughes

Have you read this poem before? 

 I just read it this morning ...... and it really spoke to me.

We all need a handful of dream-dust!!

My interpretation of dream-dust is that little sprinkle of confidence in your mind that you can actually attain your dreams!  I'm not sure if that is the way he meant it or if he meant it in terms of sleep.

Poetry In The Leaves

I dwell in possibility....

~ Emily Dickinson

A frosted web,
invisible thread
reminding me
of
possibility

When Every Leaf Is A Flower

Autumn is a second spring 
when every leaf is a flower.

Life Is Good

Life is good, 
even though we forget it sometimes. 

 — Abraham M. Alghanem

Heart shaped leaf found on my morning walk. 

I took this with my iPhone

I just LOVE finding Hearts in Nature!

Falling Together

Let Your Cares Drop Away

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.

~John Muir

Taste Her Sweetness

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.

~E.B. White

One of my ALL TIME Favorite books as a child was Charlotte's Web,

by EB White.

I remember getting this book as a child and falling in love with it.

It may have been the book that instilled a LOVE of reading in my soul.

A Leaf Reflected

“Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?”
— St. Augustine

Fluttered From The Tree

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

~Emily Bronte
