“Beauty is a primeval phenomenon,
which itself never makes its appearance,
but the reflection of which is visible in
a thousand different utterances
of the creative mind,
and is as various as nature herself.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Dandelion Warmth
“No creature is fully itself till it is,
like the dandelion, opened in the bloom
of pure relationship to the sun,
the entire living cosmos.”
D.H. Lawrence
Blooming Amid Thorns
“The world is not respectable;
it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever;
but it is shot through with beauty, with love
with glints of courage and laughter;
and in these, the spirit blooms timidly,
and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”
George Santayana
Unity Belles
“In one drop of water are found
all the secrets of all the oceans;
in one aspect of You are found
all the aspects of existence.”
Kahlil Gibran
All It’s Cracked Up To Be
“When nothing seems to help, I go look
at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock
perhaps a hundred times without as much
as a crack showing in it.
Yet at the hundred and first blow
it will split in two, and I know
it was not that blow that did it,
but all that had gone before.”
Jacob Riis
Showing the simple beauty in the fractures our experiences here on earth bring into our lives. Be you a river stone or a sculpture of David, we all deserve to be seen for the gift we are.
Let The Rain Fall Down On Me
“The magic of purpose and of love
in its purest form. Not television love,
with its glare and hollow and sequined glint;
not sex and allure,
all high shoes and high drama,
everything both too small and
in too much excess, but just love.
Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine,
like a surprise found in your pocket.”
Deb Caletti
Holdin Strong
“When the stormy winds do blow;
When the battle rages loud and long,
And the stormy winds do blow.”
