Sometimes a writer’s journey takes him into a deeper realm, and escape only arrives when another page is filled in his writing notebook.

You’ll understand why storms are named after people.

The world only exists in your eyes.  You can make it as big or as small as you want.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist and short story writer.  Much of his best writing occurred during the Jazz Age, with THE GREAT GATSBY being recognized as his best work.

Monday Memories: Winter’s Repose

Photo by Luca Chiandoni on Pexels.com

Winter’s white blanket covers frozen land

Sheltering nature’s glory until spring

Arctic-fed winds seem to blow from glaciers

Sleeping quietly, life conceals its zing

 

Northernmost Great Lakes transform skies to gray

Flying above, geese enjoy winter’s fling

Small ponds reflect from thick, icy mirrors

Pausing all around, boldness waits for spring

 

Ancient trees appear to wait in repose

Ignoring life’s deep freeze, buds holding out

Nature’s winter rest, preparing for spring

Arriving tonight, snowstorm’s final shout

 

Never to worry, winter fades away

Coming on schedule, spring colors each day

John Lennon Quotes

Photo by Aaditya Hirachan on Pexels.com

When we are afraid, we pull back from life.  When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

John Lennon (1940-1980) was a English musician and activist.  He was the founder of one of the most acclaimed groups ever, the Beatles.
