William Stafford Quotes

I embrace emerging experience.  I participate in discovery.  I am a butterfly.  I am not a butterfly collector.  I want the experience of the butterfly.

Wisdom is having things right in your life and knowing why.

Sharpening Each Thought

Winter’s fading breath

Discovering light

One final snowflake

Springtime taking flight

 

Winter pushed aside

Taking rest once more

Moved from nature’s shelf

Change coming ashore

 

Time bursting forward

Sharpening each thought

Landscape’s fresh colors

Lessons being taught

 

Young and old smiling

Finding spring abloom

Nature turns its page

Song fills every room

 

Daylight grows longer

Feeling warmth each day

April showers come

May flowers will stay

 

Life’s faithful rhythm

Rising overnight

Harmony fills hearts

Love found at first sight

Mary Higgins Clark (1927-2020) was an American writer of suspense novels.
