Earth's Loveliness



Don't strew me with roses 
after I'm dead.
When Death claims
 the light of my brow,
No flowers of life
 will cheer me: instead
You may give me my roses now!

Thomas F. Healey 


My soul can find no staircase 
to Heaven unless it be through
 Earth's loveliness.
Michelangelo Buonardo    


The beauty of the world 
has two edges,
 one of laughter, one of anguish,
 cutting the heart asunder.
 Virginia Woolf

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
