End

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.  ~Ivy Baker Priest

Single flower

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.  ~Claudia Ghandi

My darling are you walking away

"Are The Roses Not Blooming?"

Are the roses not blooming this morning
Has the sun lost it's beautiful ray
Have the children no reason for laughing
Or my darling are you walking away
Has the sky lost it's brilliant blue color
Are the robins
Not singing today
has that river
No reason for running
Or my darling
Are you walking away
Has my heart found a reason
For breaking in two
Have my eyes found a reason to cry
have my ears heard the voice of a stranger
Or my darling
Are you saying goodbye
Has the earth lost
It's power for turning
Has the winter decided to stay
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Or my darling are you walking away
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Or my darling are you walking away
Or my darling are you walking away

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man.  All things are connected.  Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth.  ~Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe, letter to President Franklin Pierce

“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never loses. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?” ― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but
often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has
been opened for us.
Helen Keller

Loss

What we have once enjoyed deeply we can
never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. - Helen

Sparrows...

Matthew 10:29-31

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
