Artichokes (Globe and Cardoon)


Both light and shadow are the dance of Love.
Love has no cause, it is the astrolabe of God's secrets.
Lover and loving are inseparable and timeless.
Every moment is made glorious by the light of Love. Rumi.... ♥

Randolph Henry Ashe: " They say that women change /  'Tis so But you are ever constant /  In your changefulness / Like that still thread / Of falling river / One from source to last embrace
In the still pool / Ever-renewed and ever-moving on / From first to last From first to last 
A myriad of water drops / And you, I love you for it / Are the force that moves And holds the form"

Adventure of the Argonauta Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote in Gifts from the Sea:

Gunilla Norris: "It’s September. Setting out to think about a subject and writing something about it every other day for a whole month seems daunting. Still any journey begins with a first step and then another. Left foot. Right foot. So why not make the subject this month be about journeying? I’m packing my bag!"

‎"He was my cream, and I was his coffee / and when you poured us together / it was something." ~Josephine Baker
Inspiration enters through the window of Irrelevance (p. 261 The Sound of Paper)
