Sunshine smiles
evaporate hazy thought
and the kiss of morning dew.

The sheltering forest
feels the warmth
and embraces a new day.

    ah yes...

    mists lift, bespeckling us, wet
    the grins of fools
    reconnect






    I am reading "Desert Solitaire" by Edward Abbey. He's kind of an arse, but I'm with him in the desert. I'm glad he wrote it. Nice way to remember what beauty lies in absolutely nothing. What peace? Morning m'dear... now off to work with me, yes?

    I try to remember simple, natural beauty when I feel blue. It reminds me that life is only as hard as I make it. :)

    Blah, work :( , yes, off you go! I'll join you in awhile but for now, I'm goofing off and enjoying having a smile on my face. :D

    beautiful Being - here's mine

    the soft earth
    the wrinkles of time's brow on a leaf
    earth worms, parched
    it starts raining
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    Hey B.E.!
    Benn awhile. I absolutely love this. Especially this time of year. I am surrounded by beauty, the colors of fall. I look out my window and see the mountain colored in reds, yellows, and oranges. hmmmmm.
    So nice to see writing from you again. Keep it up!
    If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different....I'd rather be completely fucking mental.

    Oh, ISN, this line in particular: "the wrinkles of time's brow on a leaf" is just amazing! :) Thank you!

    And Lady of Maine!!!! So nice to see you!!! :) I'm glad you enjoyed and I agree, this time of year is just gorgeous. It'd be nice to see a little something written by you if you have the time. :)

    beauty as only glimpsed through the eyes of BE

    and p.s. to pasta....fool's progress by edward abbey is a fantastic read. once upon a time a friend suggested this book to me and i've been a fan of his prose about nature from that day forward.
