Going some place new
Traveling on a jet plane
Just a dream for now.
A Quiet Spring
…they are as sick that surfeit
with too much as they that starve with nothing.
~William Shakespeare (English playwright, poet, and actor), Merchant of Venice

Catching a Snooze
Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between two. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist, abolitionist, and poet
Totally relaxed
Eyes shut, limbs splayed, soft breathing
Finally asleep
Roses
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturbed… ~Walt Whitman, American poet and father of free verse
Caring for roses
Is not for the faint of heart
True beauty, the result
Hang in There
To give vent now and then to his feelings, whether of pleasure or discontent, is a great ease to a man’s heart. ~Francesco Guicciardini, Italian historian and statesman
Emotions swirling
Like clouds skudding o’er the sky
Best to say nothing
Beauty Abounds
We need beauty because it makes us ache to be worthy of it. ~Mary Oliver, American poet
Oh my Azalea
How big and lovely you are
Wish your blooms would stay
Trying to Heal
This I know: there is nothing as lonely as grief. ~Abby Geni, American writer
Friends, it’s hard to grieve.
No one quite knows what to do
To make your pain ease.
Everybody has
Different techniques for coping.
Some work and some don’t.
Cry and remember.
Find things you enjoy doing.
Let Time bring you peace.
Nature can soothe you,
Wrap you in her majesty,
Wash away your tears.
R.I.P. Dallas

Nov. 28, 2006 – March 2, 2020
Good dogs never die
They live in our hearts always
Wish mine was here though.
Note: “Now I know I’ve got a heart ’cause it’s breaking.” Quote from the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz
Happiness
Real elation is when you feel you could touch a star without standing on tiptoe. ~Doug Larson, columnist and editor
Seeing my first book
On the shelf of our library
Just makes my heart soar!
