BEAUTIFUL.............Beautiful faces are those that wear, it matters little if dark or fair, whole-souled honesty printed there....................Beautiful eyes are those that show, like crystal panes where the earth-fires glow, beautiful thoughts that burn below...................Beautiful lips are those whose words, leap from the heart, like the songs of birds Yet, whose utterance prudence girds.....................Beautiful hands are those that do, work that is earnest, brave and true moment by moment the long day through................Beautiful feet are those that go, on kindly ministry to and fro, down lowliest ways, if God wills so..........................Beautiful shoulders are those that bear, ceaseless burdens of homely care, with patience, grace and a daily prayer..............Beautiful lives are those that bless silent rivers of happiess, whose hidden fountains but few may guess.....................Beautiful twilight at set of sun, beautiful goal with race well run, beautiful rest with work well done..................Beautiful grave where grasses creep where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie deep, over worn-out hands - Oh beautiful sleep................... by: Ellen Palmer Allerton.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping, I stay up and think of you and I wish on a star that somewhere you are thinking of me too.

Our joys as winged dreams do fly; why then should sorrow last? Since grief but aggravates thy loss, grieve not for what is past.

Dream what you want to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be..........LIVE.

"I AM THE LIGHT that is above everything, I am ALL; ALL came forth from me and ALL has returned to me. Split the wood and I am there. Lift up the stone and you will find me there," The Gospel of Thomas.

You decide.

  Lay me under that calming ocean soft, colourless, warm-womb, velvet cocoon. Take away this pain, this life, this living, Lay me under....Otherness...... Numbness....  ...
