Happy
Valentine's Day!
One
word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is
love.
~ Sophocles ~
This
is our Valentine's Day issue and we have a lovely poem from Larylee
Fraser for you, and also this special page added to Wynne's site HERE.
It is filled with natural preparations for skin and hair. An excellent
idea!
The
images on this page are all by the artist, William
Whitaker, and I chose these because he has such a romantic theme to his
art.
Love and blessings
from Cheyenne
Flower
Flight
A
dewdrop rolls, and spills the tints
of
morning's song on petalled veins.
As midday's orbit brashly
glints,
it wilts
the fibers, slowly drains
the
colors. Twilight's fingers pry
the
petals loose, and when they fall,
each
fragrant voice escapes, to fly
in
windswept spirals till they all
ascend
in feather-flicks of light.
Their
vapor hues reflect the weight
of
tears and pain, diffused in bright
fluorescence.
They'll precipitate
upon
the glaze of midnight's tongue;
return
to time's eternal throat.
And
then the sum of all we've sung
becomes
one incandescent note.
Quote of
the Day
Life has
taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but
in looking outward together in the same direction.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery ~
