POEM - A.E. Housman (about trees!!)
Give me a land of boughs in leaf,
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land."
- A.E. Housman

The significance which is in
unity
is an eternal wonder.
~
We try to realise the essential unity of the world
with the conscious soul of man;
we learn to perceive the unity held together
by the one Eternal Spirit,whose power creates the earth,
the sky, and the stars,
and at the same time irradiates our minds with
the light of a consciousness
that moves and exits in unbroken continuity with the outer world.
- Tagore

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth
while out walking at the weekend I saw a clump of daffodils, no flowers as yet, but it was a sign spring is coming....

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
You're the one I've always thought of
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love
You're where I belong
And when you're with me, if I close my eyes
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time
Somewhere between the heavens and earth
Frozen in time
Oh, when you say those words
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
And this journey that we're on
How far we've come and I
Celebrate every moment
And when you say you love me
That's all you have to say
I'll always feel this way
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I'm alive
When you say you love me
When you say you love me
Do you know how I love you?

I'VE COME HERE TO DEPART
I haven't come here to settle down.
I've come here to depart.
I am a merchant with lots of goods,
selling to whoever will buy.
I didn't come to create any problems,
I'm only here to love.
A Heart makes a good home for the Friend.
I've come to build some hearts.
I'm a little drunk from this Friendship-
Any lover would know the shape I'm in.
I've come to exchange my twoness,
to dissapear in One.
He is my teacher. I am His servant.
I am a nightingale in His garden.
I've come to the Teacher's garden
to be happy and die singing.
They say "Souls which know each other here,
know each other there."
I've come to know a Teacher
and to show myself as I am.
Translated from the Turkish by Kabir Helminski and Refik Algan

Empty spaces
Car space, black with unforgotten snow
muffled engines zoom along timelessly
snow parched highways, squelch under tyres
white dreams of summer ring in my ears
quietness startles my hand to write and mark
winter's realm of chilly sunlight and muted
sounds and inner contemplation

In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex regular polyhedron. These are the three-dimensional analogs of the convex regular polygons. There are precisely five such figures (shown below). They are unique in that the faces, edges and angles are all congruent.

"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked pensively. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."
~Trina Paulus
"we delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
~Maya Angelou
Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time.
~Deborah Chaskin
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the
master calls a butterfly

Love melts through
all boundaries
It links each of us
through the heart
It is the sunshine
on a freezing winter's day
It is hope for all
lost souls
Love is everything....
The moon
The stars
The sun
The planets
The oceans
The mountains
The forests
The rivers
The animals
The plants
The fish
The flowers
US
everything
It just
is!

A Prayer of Saint Francis
![]()
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Oh Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
