Out of sight

The Man in the Moon is hiding his face

from the shining stars tonight;

each one soon grows sad and cold

when he is out of sight.

The gentle raindrops falling

on the trees both far and near

are really not the rain at all

but little starry tears.

Absolutely write!

Now

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

--Marie Curie

Down the road

God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.

--Isak Dinesen

Enough

"If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars."

--Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, 1943, translated from French by Richard Howard

Hide and Seek

Come out, come out, wherever you are,
so we can end this game,

this hide and seek from long ago

when you first called my name.

I can't see you, but I hear you

counting numbers one by one.

And when you find me this time

I promise not to run.

Happiness

"The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up."

--Charles L. Morgan
