Finally it's early autumn. Summer has past and now comes the time for refection and a slower pace to life. Take a moment to look back on the year. What has changed? What have you learned? I have learned that life is what we make it, and having good friends make each and every day better.~~~

Heroes:
~Jesus~There they stand, the innumerable stars, shining in order like a living hymn, written in light.~N.P. Willis~~~~~~~~I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.~Vincent Van Gogh~~~~~~~~~~~The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand. ~F. L. Knowles~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. ~George Carlin, Brain Droppings~~~~~~~~~~~~~Most glorious night!
Thou wert not sent for slumber!
~Lord B.C.Harold~~~~~~~~~~~~~Night is a world lit by itself. ~A. Porchia, Voces, 1943~~~~~~~Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.~A.Exupéry~~~By night, an atheist half believes in God.~Edward YoungO radiant Dark! O darkly fostered ray!
Thou hast a joy too deep for shallow Day.~George EliotMoonlight is sculpture.~Nathaniel Hawthorne~~~~~~~Research is the name given the crystal formed when the night's worry is added to the day's sweat.~M.Fischer~~~~~Twilight drops her curtain down, and pins it with a star. ~L. M. Montgomery~~~~~~~Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.~H.LongfellowWhat I take from my nights, I add to my days.~Leon de Rotrou, "Vencelas"Mine is the night, with all her stars.~Edward Young~~~~~~~~~~~~One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be see many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will.~Rachel Carson~~~~~~~~~~~~~If the Stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.~R. Emerson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O wild and wondrous midnight,
There is a might in thee
To make the charmed body
Almost like spirit be,
And give it some faint glimpses
Of immortality. ~James Russell Lowell~~~~~~~I cannot walk through the suburbs in the solitude of the night without thinking that the night pleases us because it suppresses idle details, just as our memory does. ~~~~Jorge Luis BorgesThere is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery. ~J Conrad~~~~~~~~~~Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas. ~J.K. Rowling, "The Egg and The Eye," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000, spoken by the character M MoodyIs there not
A tongue in every star that talks with man,
And wooes him to be wise? nor wooes in vain;
This dead of midnight is the noon of thought,
And wisdom mounts her zenith with the stars.
~Anna Letitia Barbauld, A Summer Evening's MeditationNight is the blotting paper for many sorrows. ~Author Unknown
