I had a good-talking candle last night in my bedroom. I was very tired but I wanted somebody to be with me, So I lit a candle and listened to its comfortable voice of light until I was asleep. ~ Richard Brautigan
A Spike of Green When I went outThe sun was hotIt shone uponMy flower pot. And there I sawA spike of greenThat no one elseHad ever seen! On other daysThe things I seeAre mostly oldExcept for me. But this green spikeSo new and smallHad never yetBeen seen at all!
I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. ~ Mary Oliver
All the words that I utter, And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darkened or starry bright.
~ W. B. Yeats
