"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy."

O Muses, O high genius, aid me now! O memory that engraved the things I saw, Here shall your worth be manifest to all!

and the winds long to play with your hair."

Don't dream of a better tomorrow

You will keep your present at bay,

Live for the moment and have a positive say

You are the best say it today

Do what you feel and feel that today

Not like any other day

Feel like today!

Happiness is like a butterfly;

the more you chase it, the more it will elude you,

but if you turn your attention to other things,

it will come and sit quietly on your shoulder

EACH OF US


beyond the fray
the heart beats
in simple song
like a melody
for humanity

Comment by Luna Arjuna on January 11, 2021 at 7:56pm

Love your hands! Love them.

Raise them up and kiss them…

Love your neck; put a hand on it, grace it, stroke it and hold it up… And all your inside parts...

and the beat and beating heart...

Love your heart. For this is the prize.

~ Toni Morrison

And, If a star shall fall
Down upon the ground
Why, I shall pick her up
For, she longed to be found
I shall hold her forever
Forever in my heart
Knowing that we shall never
Ever again, be apart
