In My Violet Eyes

“Deep violets, you liken to
The kindest eyes that look on you,
Without a thought disloyal.”
E. B. Browning

said the butterfly.
“One must have sunshine,
freedom and a little flower.”
Hans Christian Andersen

and takes the winds of March with beauty.”

Late Bloom

Late Bloom

“A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.” 
Jean Paul Richter

So hard to believe this autumn bud was just captured a little over a month ago… it will always remind me of the transformative weekend in my hometown of Portland, OR, where I took another powerful step toward creating inner peace and being love.

May The Rain Wash Away The Pain

May The Rain Wash Away The Pain

“Life is thickly sown with thorns,
and I know no other remedy
than to pass quickly through them.
The longer we dwell on our misfortunes,
the greater is their power to harm us.”

Voltaire

Honey Just Bee

Honey Just Bee

“LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain – grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn; the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

They All Fall Down

“She tells me she wants to be a raindrop.
She doesn’t mind falling.
As long as she’s not alone,
and raindrops are never alone.”
