I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape, the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it – the whole story doesn’t show.

Mystical Love – Gorgeous Poem and Picture

Mystical Love - Gorgeous Poem and Picture

 

Your skin glows like a fresh cherry,
Blossoms tasty as the rose in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your crystal clear voice
And leaps like a young colt at the whisper of your name.
The evening floats in on a great butterfly wing.
I am comforted by your hat that I carry into the twilight of songbeams.
I hold next to my lips.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of sorrow.
As my eyes fall from my old scarf, it reminds me of your love.
In the quiet, I listen for the last note of the day.
My heated arms leap to yours.
I wait in the moonlight for our secret sign
So that we may run as one, arms to arms,
In search of the magnificent, pure and mystical love.

The eyes are the mirror to the human soul and so is nature… Its soul reflects in clear blue waters. Lately people fail to see nature and its soul because they alter the reflections.

The sun does not set to end a day, it sets to begin a night and give the chance to all creatures to live. The darkness is not scary, unless your mind is blank and can’t imagine the beauty and life beyond it.

Stare at the horizon and open your mind. Breath deep. Go outside and look around. You are smaller than an ant in Universe. What makes you think you have the right to judge others? Live to be happy, smile to make others happy. Enjoy life and do not frown, give advice if you are wiser than others. But always remember that even the stupid people can say smart things.

When all the world is young
And all the trees are green
And every goose a swan,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse,
And round the world away:
Young blood must have its course,
And every dog his day.

The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee… gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.

A friend drops their plans when you’re in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you’re in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice–but when you don’t follow it, they still respect and love you.

“Beauty is a form of genius – is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.” – Oscar Wilde

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

Solitude is such a potential thing. We hear voices in solitude, we never hear in the hurry and turmoil of life; we receive counsels and comforts, we get under no other condition.

Love is putting your everything in someone. It’s knowing that you’re handing that person a weapon that is capable of destroying you…but trusting them not to. Love is so powerful! It isn’t a word that should just be thrown around like it is…

 

Dog Prayers

Giulia

Dog Prayers 1

 

Dear God,

Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

 

Dear God,

When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?

 

Dog Prayers 2

 

Dear God,

Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE is named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be that hard to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle?

 

Dear God,

If a dog barks his head off in the forest, and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?

 

Dear God,

We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID’s, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

 

Dear God,

When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
(No, dogs get a “Go Directly To Heaven” card. Do not pass “Go”. Do not collect $200. Go directly to Heaven. – Vikar)

 

Dear God,

Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

 

Dog prayers 3

 

Dear God,
Here is a list of a few of the things I must remember to be a good dog:

 

1. I will not eat the cats’ food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the smell.
3. The sofa is not a face towel.
4. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
5. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
6. Sticking my nose into someone’s crotch is not an acceptable way of saying hello.
7. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m lying under the coffee table.
8. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
9. I will not throw up in the car.
10. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is over.
11. The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it’s usually not a good thing.
12. And God, when I get to Heaven, can I have my testicles back?

 

Sincerely,
The Dog

About Paradise

Look around you at the gifts of God, the clear sky, the pure air, the tender grass, the birds; nature is beautiful and sinless, and we, only we, are godless and foolish, and we don’t understand that life is a paradise, for we have only to understand that and it will at once be fulfilled in all its beauty, we shall embrace each other and weep.
