Only Love Lasts

The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless;
love is eternal.

H.W. Longfellow

A Poem For Xenia

"I put this on,

my big sister's dress

and you take some snaps,

and some more snaps...

here, here, like this

as I sniff the rose."

Animated laughter

Snorting, Roaring,

Giggling,

All those yellings

Xenia zapping

my serial disquiet. :)

With Much, Much Love,
Tita N.

transition

Here I am

scanning the stars

searching for home.

I shall be

 returning quietly

to a lifetime

I've longed for.

ONG SOHUNG, Creator, I am Thou!

What inspires you?

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; 

don’t try to make it logical; 

don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion.  

Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”  

―Franz Kafka

the spirit is ageless

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows,

let them not be written upon the heart.

The spirit should not grow old.

- James A. Garfield

A new day

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.

Fireflies in the Corn

How I adore you, you happy things, you dears,
  Riding the air and carrying all the time
  Your little lanterns behind you: it cheers
  My heart to see you settling and trying to climb
  The corn-stalks, tipping with fire their spears.


D. H. Lawrence
