In the depths of winter
I finally learned that within me
there lay an invincible summer.

Brocade

 

Pooling
leaves
collecting,
gently
treading
upon
spongy softness.
Tall
shadows shelter
nature’s
carpet,
secrets
whispered
sunlit
dreams.

Lace

“I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.”
~Coco Chanel

Nature

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
~Auguste Rodin

Thoughts

Thoughts are the shadows of our sensations – always darker, emptier, simpler than these.
~Friedrich Nietzsche

Autumn River Walk

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
~J. R. R. Tolkien
