MySpot: I Felt like Lying Down by the Side of the Trail and Remembering It All

"Here in the moving shadows

I catch my breath and sing -

My heart is fresh and fearless

And over-brimmed with spring."

Sara Teasdale 

MySpot: Winter Is on My Head

 

"As winter strips the leaves from around us, 

so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, 

so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity."

Jean Paul Richter

Tasha

"It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) 
that whatever you say to them, 

they always purr."

Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There

MySpot: The Cold of the Winter

"In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,

Snow on snow,

In the bleak midwinter,

Long ago."

Christina Rossetti - A Christmas Carol

MySpot: We Call Them Nudes

"She was a quiet rebel. 

She wasn’t loud or in your face but she had her own mind, 

she couldn’t be told what to do, 

she’d be polite and then still go her own way."

Unknown

A Dramatist

"Lonesome, friendless self-assured,

They walk this earth as if it's theirs,

Belongs to no one, not him nor her,

We say it's my cat, your cat, theirs.

Cat, he walks with attitude,

That says he doesn't care."

F. E. Smith
