Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,

Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline

The stars are the street lights of eternity. ~Author Unknown

And the night shall be filled with music,

And the cares that infest the day

Shall fold their tents like the Arabs

And as silently steal away.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Day Is Done

There they stand, the innumerable stars, shining in order like a living hymn, written in light. ~N.P. Willis

“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Henry Rollins

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?

Epictetus

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up. Pearl Buck

[BriarRose Kildare]

"If apples were pears

And peaches were plums

And the rose had a different name.

If tigers were bears

And fingers were thumbs

I'd love you just the same."

- anonymous

"Loud are the thunder drums in the tents of the mountains.

Oh, long, long

Have we eaten chia seeds

and dried deer's flesh of the summer killing.

We are tired of our huts

and the smoky smell of our clothing.

We are sick with the desire for the sun

And the grass on the mountain."

- Paiute Late Winter Song

[Red Cat Jenny]

Can't wait for Summer....

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape

Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever.

Not even when I'm a hundred," said Christopher Robin.

Pooh thought for a little while. "How old shall I be then?"

"Ninety-Nine."

Pooh nodded. "I promise," he said.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

"Pooh!" he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it.

Here's A Health To The Company

Kind friends and companions come join me in rhyme

Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine

Come lift up your voices all grief to refrain

For we may or might never all meet here again

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass

Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass

Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain

For we may or might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well

For style and for beauty there's none can excel

There's a smile on her countenance as she sits upon my knee

There is no man in in this wide world as happy as me

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass

Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass

Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain

For we may or might never all meet here again

Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock

I wish her safe landing without any shock

And if ever I should meet you by land or by sea

I will always remember your kindness to me

So here's a health to the company and one to my lass

Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass

Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain

For we may or might never all meet here again

[BriarRose Kildare]

Looking forward to Spring and all of the flowers in bloom. Oh and me birthday too of course.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens

"Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it." -- James Truslow Adams

[BriarRose Kildare]

I found this quote and thought is was so sweet and magical....

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy.

James Matthew Barrie

A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.

Martin Fraquhar Tupper

And this quote I am dedicating to Maeve and Captain Brand for there soon to be new bundle of joy....Hugs to Both of You....And Many, Many Happy Blessings:

A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.

Alan Marshall Beck

[Rage Dragonbane]

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve then, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them, because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheel? We make the tools for these kind of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I fear the words "I have a cunning plan" are rapidly marching towards this conversation with ill-deserved confidence.

I be lookin' forward to St. Patty's Day....

St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic. ~Adrienne Cook

May the Irish hills caress you.

May her lakes and rivers bless you.

May the luck of the Irish enfold you.

May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

~Irish Blessing

Oh, the music in the air!

An' the joy that's ivrywhere -

Shure, the whole blue vault of heaven is wan grand triumphal arch,

An' the earth below is gay

Wid its tender green th'-day,

Fur the whole world is Irish on the Seventeenth o' March!

~Thomas Augustin Daly

[BriarRose Kildare]

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~James Openheim

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ~Abraham Lincoln

It's never too late to have a happy childhood. ~Berke Breathed

New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.

George Bernard Shaw:

[BriarRose Kildare]

“Then indecision brings its own delays,

And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.

Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;

What you can do, or dream you can, begin it;

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port. ~Montaigne

We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over. ~ Aneurin Bevan

We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears. ~Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld

It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath. ~Aeschylus

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep. ~Denis Waitley

Niccolo Machiavelli

"It doesn't matter. I won't be in the history books anyway, only you. Franklin did this and Franklin did that and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse."
