I think I flew

I think I flew;

Light like a bird,

Yet a heaviness,

Perhaps, briefly, I was a bird.

"People only see ...."

People only see what they are prepared to see.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Passing Love"

Because you are to me a song

I must not sing you over-long.

Because you are to me a prayer

I cannot say you everywhere.

Because you are to me a rose –

You will not stay when summer goes.

Langston Hughes

"If thou must love me ...."

If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love’s sake only.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"I have a simple philosophy ...."

“I have a simple philosophy: Fill what’s empty.  Empty what’s full.  Scratch where it itches.”
