Quote of the Day:
“When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.”
~Robert Frost, “A Time to Talk”

Poem of the Day:
“In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash’d palings,
Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
With every leaf a miracle — and from this bush in the dooryard,
With delicate-color’d blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig with its flower I break. ”
~“When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed” by Walt Whitman
This reminds me of growing up eating cereal in our kitchen in the summer with the windows open and smelling the blooming lilacs right out side in the morning air. Those days were easy and beautiful.

“THIS day, O Soul, I give you a wondrous mirror;
Long in the dark, in tarnish and cloud it lay—But the cloud has pass’d, and the

… Behold, O Soul! it is now a clean and bright mirror,
Faithfully showing you all the things of the world.”
~ “This Day, O Soul” by Walt Whitman
Lyrics of the Day:
“And Joseph said
Why me?
I’m just a simple man of trade
Why Him?
With all the rulers in the world
Why here?
Inside this stable filled with hay
Why her?
She’s just an ordinary girl
Now I’m not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the World”

Lyrics of the Day:
“If you find your self lost out in this world
Then I’ll find a way to get back to your side

From New York to California, To California, To California ”

Poem of the Day:
“i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart) ”
~”I Carry Your Heart” by E.E. Cummings
Lyrics of the Day:
“I’m gonna stop in the middle
Hang my feet off the edge
I got no reason to worry
I know I’ll find the end
That’s where you’ll be waiting
I hope you don’t forget
That I won’t quit till I find you
No matter the risk
Wherever you are
Where will you be
Are you the same or
Dreamin after waiting only for me
Waiting for love
Waiting for the same or
Dreamin on the other side hoping that
No matter how far I’ll find my way to you
Followin a rainbow”
~“Rainbow” by Colbie Caillat

Verse of the Day:
“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.”
~James 1:5-6
Poem of the Day:
“Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed
a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun
into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.
Do you run
through each day
On the fly?
When you ask “How are you?”
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.
Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,’Hi’
You’d better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift….
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.”
~“Slowdance” by Anon.

Verse of the Day:
“Pray for Jerusalem’s peace!
Prosperity to all you Jerusalem-lovers!
Friendly insiders, get along!
Hostile outsiders, keep your distance!
For the sake of my family and friends,
I say it again: live in peace!
For the sake of the house of our God, God,
I’ll do my very best for you. ”
~Ps 122:6-9
Quote of the Day:

Lyrics of the Day:
“My days seem long
whenever we’re apart
it´s like someone had
thrown away my heart
you´re a major part of my life
And no matter what the
storm may bring
I´m fine with you,
And the point of it all
Is I love you
And the reason for it all
Is I love you”
~ “Point of it All” by Anthony Hamilton

Verse of the Day:

~Ps 34:18
Poem of the Day:
“To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the
same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;
Every spear of grass–the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women,
and all that concerns them,
All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.”
~“Miracles” by Walt Whitman
Lyrics of the Day:
“You find your faith that’s been lost and shaken
You take back what’s been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don’t give in
It’ll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable”
~ “Unstoppable” by Rascal Flatts

Verse of the Day:
“I was so foolish and ignorant—
I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.
Yet I still belong to you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.”
~Ps 73:22-24
Poem of the Day:
“Daughters of Time, the hypocritic Days,
Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes,
And marching single in an endless file,
Bring diadems and fagots in their hands.
To each they offer gifts after his will,
Bread, kingdom, stars, and sky that holds them all.
I, in my pleached garden, watched the pomp,
Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
Turned and departed silent. I, too late,
Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn.”
~“Days” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lyrics of the Day:
“Then there was rain
The sky wore a veil of gold and green
At night it was the bright of the moon with me
Time is just floating away
Then there was rain
The sound foundations are crumbling
Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling
And time was just floating away
We can watch it and stay
And we can listen”
~ “Rainy Day” by Coldplay
