dormant

                                                                                       God sends the dawn
                                                                                        that we might see
                                                                                        the might-have-beens
                                                                                        that still might be.  ~Robert Brault

valentine’s day

                                                Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
                                                  ~ John 15:13

books

                                       A house without books is like a room without windows.  ~Heinrich Mann

flowering in January!

               There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.

                           ~John Muir, A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf, 1916

Christmas bells

 

                                                                 I heard the bells on Christmas Day
                                                                 Their old, familiar carols play,
                                                                 And wild and sweet
                                                                 The words repeat
                                                                 Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
                                                                     ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
