MySpot: Take that Plan Seriously

*Ph/ Dreamboy

"I've always been told that happiness is a choice.

I've always hated that statement because

it puts the control onto me and not my circumstances. 
But perhaps it is a choice - a choice to be present and to be thankful."

It Was in the Latter Days of September

"Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light,

with skies a deeper blue,

and nights that become suddenly clear and chilled.

The season comes full with the first frost,

the disappearance of migrant birds,

and the harvesting of the season's last crops."

"He would have told her - he would have said,

it matters not if you are here or there, 
for I see you before me every moment.

I see you in the light of the water,

in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind.

I see you in the shadows of the great oaks,

I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night.

You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. 
You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping.

You are - you are bone of my bone, 
and breath of my breath."

Juliet Marillier - Daughter of the Forest

I'm Having a Magenta Day

"Magenta…that’s what I call it when I get that way.

All kinds of feelings tumbling all over themselves.

Well you know, you’re not quite blue, because you’re not really sad.

And although you’re a little bit jealous you wouldn’t say you’re green with envy.

And every now and then you realize you’re kind of scared but you’d hardly call yourself yellow…

I hate that feeling. Just hate it.

And I hate the color magenta. 

That’s why I named it that. Magenta.

No way to really explain it but, fortunately between friends you don’t have to."

"Stand on a short wooden pier in the tranquility of the summer twilight,

watching a boat move away towards the far lake shore."

Silvestra Bietoletti

Amid the Shadowed Leaves the Golden Orange Glisten

"The happy bells shall ring Marguerite;
The summer birds shall sing Marguerite;
You smile but you shall wear
Orange blossoms in your hair, Marguerite."

Thomas Bailey Aldrich - Wedded

"He said the pleasantest manner of spending a hot July day

was lying from morning till evening on a bank of heath in the middle of the moors,

with the bees humming dreamily about among the bloom,

and the larks singing high up overhead,

and the blue sky 
and bright sun shining steadily and cloudlessly."

Emily Bronte

Stormy Sky

"A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition."

William Arthur Ward

*Ph of me/ Dreamboy

"A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...
It feels an impulsion...

this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds,

and you will know, too,

when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons."

Richard Bach
