SPRINGTIME
Oh, spring came to my garden
And caught it unaware
Wearing just a few old leaves
And a dejected air.
But when spring left my garden,
Its work so deftly done,
Many, many Daffodils
Were dancing in the sun.
~ Velma D. Bates

but to add color to my sunset sky. ~Rabindranath Tagore

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest.

In wilderness I sense the miracle of life,
and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia. ~Charles Lindbergh

Greater than scene is situation. Greater than situation is implication.
Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any frame.
