Winter solstice,22 December 2013

       MERRY HOLIDAYS FOR ALL..................

           Give up all the other worlds

     except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet

      confinement of your aloneness

                    to learn

            anything or anyone

      that does not bring you alive

               is too small for you.

                  David   Whyte

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

John Wesley

Fame is a fickle food (1702)

BY EMILY DICKINSON

Fame is a fickle food

Upon a shifting plate

Whose table once a

Guest but not

The second time is set

Whose crumbs the crows inspect

And with ironic caw

Flap past it to the

Farmer's corn

Men eat of it and die

White world ,29 novembre 2013

Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon.

Ikkyu - Zen-monk poet, 1394-1481

Wind And snow,Sunday 24 November

Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

November Night

BY ADELAIDE CRAPSEY

Listen. .

With faint dry sound,

Like steps of passing ghosts,

The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees

And fall.
