The World on my wall is a majestic escape when I’m lying in bed on difficult days.
A natural scene full of wonder and charm to calm my heart in the midst of the storm.

Sometimes the heart must ache
So the soul can find its way

Let go calmly, deliberately, thoughtfully
Of cares beyond thy sphere.
Center the immediate moment;
Relish the color & taste of today…

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. ~ Robert Frost
