Robert Lynd Quotes

In order to see birds, it is necessary to become a part of the silence.

There is nothing in which the birds differ from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.

Robert Lynd (1879-1949) was an Irish writer, who was best known for his poetry and essays.

Monday Memories: Living with Confidence

A very early poem of mine was entitledStill a Desperate Man which was inspired by Eric Church’s top country music hit of “Desperate Man.”  If you missed the earlier poem, follow the link.  I want to thank Jim Borden of Borden’s Blather for encouraging me to write this sequel.  I encourage you to check out Jim’s blog with its wonderful and inspiring variety of posts.

Waking up each morning, right on time

My alarm clock allows this day to climb

Feeling happiness—this life now rhymes

 

Driving to work in a brand new set of wheels

With low monthly payments, my wallet squeals

Feeling joy—kicking up these dancing heels

 

Returning from work, this day’s in the books

Satisfied with how that hefty, new raise looks

Feeling elation—inviting a new life’s chinook

 

Opening up the fridge, filled with favorite delights

Dinner tonight, taking taste buds to new heights

Feeling serenity—life marches in bright lights

 

Opening the mail one quiet afternoon

My love’s note makes this heart swoon

Feeling peace—love takes us to the moon

 

Looking forward to seeing her this weekend

Her love will always be a blessed godsend

Feeling humility—life no longer at loose ends

 

This incredible life now follows a new game plan

Sailing calm waters aboard life’s catamaran

No longer will I ever feel like a desperate man

Harriet Beecher Stowe Quotes

Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.

Love needs new leaves every summer of life, as much as your elm-tree, and new branches to grow broader and wider, and new flowers to cover the ground.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and abolitionist.  A native of the state of Connecticut, she was born in Litchfield.
