Summer’s Almost Gone

July Clover

The wondering flowers looked up to see
Who had offered the worm a home:
‘T was a clover-blossom, whose fluttering leaves
Seemed beckoning him to come;
It dwelt in a sunny little nook,
Where cool winds rustled by,
And murmuring bees and butterflies came,
On the flower’s breast to lie.
–– Louisa May Alcott

“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has
been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed
there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” ― Henry David Thoreau
Doves At Our Doorstep
Thank you Lord, for these guests …
As Adam (50)
“The mystery behind all form is at last named in a formula so convincing, so appealing, so satisfying, that distinction ceases; we forget that even this is not final, that beyond the expression, and apart from it, lies the whole immensity.” – The Vision of Siva
As Adam (46)
“As a man traversing the whole earth,
Finds not anywhere an object more loveable than himself;
Therefore, since the self is so universally loved by all,
The man who loves himself so much,
Should do no injury to others.” – Sona Thera
As Adam (44)
“But, like a beautiful flower, full of colour and full of scent, are the fine and fruitful words of him who acts accordingly.” – Dhammappada
