Do you suppose a caterpillar knows it's future lies in butterflies?

~ Marcus Bach

I love to watch the early morning sunlight as it dances it's way through the garden

The Sunlight Of The Soul. ...Then the beauty of the sunshine To the present gives a glow, As with misty gleams the future Glances on the scenes below. For our hearts must then grow lighter As we catch those pleasant beams, And our eyes with light grow brighter With the soul's reflecting dreams. And the storm-clouds that o'ershadow, Pass away beneath the rays Of a former golden pastime, As reflected on our ways. Teaching us that 'neath the curtain Where the darkness lurks within, That our thoughts will cast a shadow Where the sunlight should come in. Thus in moments when we're nervous With a care that few can test, Then this sunlight that is golden Gives our soul its needed rest. And our troubles quickly vanish As the storm-clouds backward roll From the glory of the spirit, And the sunlight of the soul. __James S. Jennings. To read the full poem, please click here

Lovely folks... free tastings!

Do flowers see clouds?

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is,
I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.
