Mother Earth and Father Time...

...

...

He turns the seasons around

and so she changes her gown,

But they always look in their prime.

They go on dancing their dance

Of ever lasting romance.

Mother Earth and Father Time.

...

As I sit here looking out my window at the rain I have this poem running agian and again in my mind. I love to see the sesons change. I look forward to it. I can not wait for the ends of summer to leave and for fall and finally the winter to return. I miss the winter so much. I know that most people enjoy the summer but I have always loved the chilled air and the quite that comes with the winter season.

I miss the start of a snow fall in the middle of the night. I sit at the window and watch the peaceful blanket fall on the ground. But I know that when it gets here the thing that I will miss most is having someone to sit with and to hold me while we watch for hours on end.

...

I guess we can never have everything in life. I love my job and I am going to be moving into a new little house of my own. I am as happy as I can be with what I have. but...I still will miss that.

A Moment of Zen If You Please...

Do we not cherish the

Infinite brightness

Of the one bright pearl?

Who can surpass

The virtue of this

Brilliant, radiant pearl

That covers the universe?

The essence of causality

Never ceases and

The pearl is always bright.

It is our original face and enlightened eye.

Something About A Good Movie Quote That Just Makes Your Heart Sing...

...
...

. ........... Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man, Gilly. Only that moon. -Sally Owens
