Here is a poem for you:<br /><br />may my heart always be open to little<br />birds who are the secrets of living<br />whatever they sing is better than to know<br />and if men should not hear them men are old<br /><br />may my mind stroll about hungry<br />and fearless and thirsty and supple<br />and even if it's sunday may i be wrong<br />for whenever men are right they are not young<br /><br />and may myself do nothing usefully<br />and love yourself so more than truly<br />there's never been quite such a fool who could fail<br />pulling all the sky over him with one smile<br /><br />e. e. cummingsJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748278232249698736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416825.post-1100350414278684352004-11-13T04:53:00.000-08:002004-11-13T04:53:00.000-08:00I love to visit this garden.

Your subjects touch my heart -- the clarity that comes with the bright, piercing sun of autumn and the gaze into your newborn's eyes -- looking into the face of love, your own face, God's face.<br /><br />I find rest here and you inspire me to be restful.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946222067827722839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416825.post-1100307551014910442004-11-12T16:59:00.000-08:002004-11-12T16:59:00.000-08:00Dear Akilesh,

You remind me most of Whitman "wherever I go I find messages from God, and I leave them there because I know there will be others ... many others" (rough paraphrase).<br /><br />And then Traherne: like a new born child with the faculty to write poetry.<br /><br />This one evokes in me Paul's poetry: ye are all members one of another.Larry Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571190213288384302noreply@blogger.com
