When you Walk...

Come oh come! let us away-
Lower, lower every day,
oh, what joy it is to race
Down to find the lowest place.

This the dearest law we know-

“it is happy to go low.”

Sweetest urge and sweetest will,

“Let us go down lower still.”

Hear the summons night and day

calling us to come away.

From the heights we leap and flow

to the valleys down below.

Always answering to the call.

To the lowest place of all.

Sweetest urge and sweetest pain.

To go low and rise again.

"Friendship!
Tis a holy charm,
That binds the broken heart,
That points us from the path of harm
and soothes affliction's smart."

From a 19th Century Friendship Card

Do you remember "The Sign?"

This is what the sign said on my way to work this morning.
I thought it was kinda cute!

What did you see on your way to work?

When you've finished
getting yourself ready in the morning,
you must go get the planet ready.

The Little Prince

One of the pleasantest things is going on a journey;
but I like to go by myself.
I can enjoy society in a room;
but out of doors,
nature is enough company for me.

William Hazlitt

Frodo: I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil.

Quote by: J.R.R. Tolkien

As the old man man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them back into the sea. Finally, catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. "But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish," countered the other. "How can your effort make a difference?" The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves. "It makes a difference to this one," he said.

Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived.

Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry

of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest

in the forest no more.

Galadriel
Lord of the Rings

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest ;
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp north, without declining west ?
Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally ;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.

The Good Morrow

what is essential is invisible to the eye."
