The Double Red Geranium of the Night
"Finish each day and be done with
it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities
have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new
day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to
be encumbered with your old nonsense."
----Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The best and most beautiful
things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must
be felt with the heart.
-----Helen Keller
Double Red Pelargonium of the Rain
Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The rain makes still pools on
the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night -- And
I love the rain.
----Langston Hughes
"Nature has been for me, for as

A Double Red Bud begins to break

that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible
to the eye."

"What a delight it is when,
of a morning, I get up and go out to find in bloom a flower that
yesterday was not there."
