Hearts Aglow

Happy Valentines!

There’s music in the waking woods,

   There’s glory in the air;                                              

Birds, in their merry summer moods,

   Now rant and revel there:

Joy wakes, and wantons all around,

   Love laughs in every call,

Music in many hearts is found,

   And Poesy breathes in all.

John Clare

Our pine cone opened up in the warmth and gave us some pine nuts!

“Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.”

— Morgan Freeman, actor

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

Shakespeare - The Tempest
