This is home...
our
colorful Northwest butterfly gardens are designed
in
English cottage tradition ...
but
I sometimes miss the beautiful, fragrant gardens
of
my beloved South.....
-- candles to light against the backdrop of evening,
logs in the fireplace to whisper peace,
the homely aroma of freshly baked bread
from the kitchen,
featherbeds and quilts to warm and
comfort us into sweet dreams,
ceiling-high shelves of great books,
a mountain range framing the soft
night sounds of the sea...
we all have our dreams....
...would you care to share your dreams?...
My Special Invitation to Friendship
Flower Duet
If you are spiritually thirsting
and longing for the perfect love
that only God can give,
look to the Bible for direction.
God has paid the price for us to be forgiven
and made right with him through Jesus, his son.
Do you know Him?
Christian Creeds and Confessions
are interpretations of biblical truth that
have come to us through the ages.
I recommend Christian Classics,
an Ethereal Library
for great contemplative writings.
One of the most interesting ways to study
world history is to follow the
trail of your own family.
The Internet offers excellent resources.
One of the best is Rootsweb.

I am attracted to the poetry of William Wordsworth,
to the wonderful Elvish language
described in Tolkienien linguistics,
and to the enigmatic
Poetic Prose by Dawn Sea
(did she exist? you tell me...)
Music for the hopelessly romantic...
Somewhere In Time, Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire,
The Music of the Night,
Time After Time,
The Rose, The Western Wall, Scent of a Woman,
Bolero
War is insanity. Samuel Clemens recognized this,
but would not permit this brief, poignant work to
be published until after his death, insisting that
"only a dead man may speak the truth" ...
Mark Twain's "The War Prayer."
May God spare our children the sickness and the
hypocrisy that is war.
A Prayer for Peace
Pray for world peace and for
all those around the world
who live in unrelenting need and despair...
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may seek
not so much to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
- St. Francis of Assisi
Blessings to all of you, kindred souls the world over,
