Rocks and Tides

.


"And then, the unspeakable purity and freshness of the air! There was just enough heat to enhance the value of the breeze, and just enough wind to keep the whole sea in motion, to make the waves come bounding to the shore, foaming and sparkling, as if wild with glee."

On All That Answers to Its Glance Below

.


"The world turns softly
Not to spill its lakes and rivers,
The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water."

MySpot: Cause You Let Me Shine

.


"...And we build up castles 
In the sky and in the sand 
Design our own world 
Ain't nobody understand 
I found myself alive 
In the palm of your hand 
As long as we are flyin' 
All this world ain't got no end"

Miscellaneous: A Coloured State of Grace

"Light can be gentle, dangerous, dreamlike, bare, living, dead, misty, clear, hot, dark, violet, springlike, falling, straight, sensual, limited, poisonous, calm and soft."

A Shining Tree

"Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Miscellaneous: World of Green

.

.

"Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling."

Miscellaneous: Lilac Air

.

"I am thinking of the lilac-trees,
That shook their purple plumes,
And when the sash was open,
Shed fragrance through the room."
