A Suggestion To The Poet

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life ... The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realized in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song! 

– John Burroughs

I do believe John Burroughs was very wise and truly gifted with words!  

I saw this verse and was moved by its truth.

Colors of a Starling

I have always wanted my colors to sing. 

-  Paul Delvaux

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Flying Flowers

Butterflies really do remind me of flowers that fly!

Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on;
'Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
'Til in Heaven the deed appears -
Pass it on.
~ Henry Burton, Pass It On

My hope is that you have found kindness on this day 

~ and that you have passed it on.

White-throated Sparrow

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
