Let your sorrow smile once in a while.
Spring wings
In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head.
Weary
“When the superficial wearies me, it wearies me so much that I need an abyss in order to rest.”
—Antonio Porchia (1886–1968), Voces, 1943–1966, translated from the Spanish by W. S. Merwin (1927–2019), 1968
Demurrer
A smile is the best defense against this offensive world.
Brotherly wisdom
“If you ever change your mind… you’re not stuck with it. You’ve got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you’re not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice.”
—Steven D. Woodhull
A turning trial by fire
Anger makes your life — and your body —
Pain & struggle
We can’t always see the scatters and tatters of a broken heart. Kindness is due to all fellow beings — we never know the invisible hurts they’re enduring.
Brimming
Time pours his guests a cup of tea but the party is over before we know it.
Notoolong
We are only but guests at Time’s tea party.
Seasonal wisdom
learn from leaves
green is go —
yellow & red
slow down, stop
take time to rest
Be light
Laughter is a feather. Anger is a brick.
Depths
Grief is a haunted lake that’s all too easy to drown in.
Sepulturæ
Our bodies are the burial grounds of dead time.
“Time! where didst thou those years inter
Which I have seene decease?” —Wm. Habington
