walk about the house

“I cannot sleep for dreaming;

I cannot dream

but I wake

and walk about the house

as though I'd find you coming through some door.”
Arthur Miller

mountains

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
John Muir

It grows with love

“My love for you is like a flower.

It grows with love and sunshine.”
ariel

growing up

“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does.

Love is a battle,

love is a war; love is a growing up.”
James Arthur Baldwin

grow

“When we were children,

we used to think that when we were grown-up

we would no longer be vulnerable.

But to grow up is to accept vulnerability...

To be alive is to be vulnerable.”
Madeleine L'Engle

fun

“I'm not trying to make fun of everyone,

and not everyone is supposed to get that kind of humor.

But the people here seemed to like it.

The guy really wanted to tell me what kind of tree he would be,”
Kenny Mayne

the blues

“I met a girl who sang the blues,
And I asked her for some happy news;
But she just smiled and turned away”
Don McLean
