A Rest Day

 

The holiest of all holidays are those
 Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
 The secret anniversaries of the heart,
 When the full river of feeling overflows;

Holidays,   poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Time Has Come

... there shall be showers of blessing.
- Ezekiel 34:26, The Holy Bible.

Personal

Stay hungry, stay foolish.
- Steve Jobs

A man growing old becomes a child again

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
- Henry Ford

Wait and Watch

Waiting for monsoon

Monsoon to set in early

Thinking

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.

- Langston Hughes, Life Is Fine

...

Innocence

There are things of which I may not speak;
There are dreams that cannot die;
There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak,
And bring a pallor into the cheek,
And a mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal song
Come over me like a chill:
"A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts."

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, My Lost Youth

Stolen Moment

I ne'er was struck before that hour

With love so sudden and so sweet.

Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower

And stole my heart away complete.

First Love - poem by John Clare
