"Calm is all Nature as a Resting Wheel."

Calm is all nature as a resting wheel.
The kine are couched upon the dewy grass;
The horse alone, seen dimly as I pass,
Is cropping audibly his later meal:
Dark is the ground; a slumber seems to steal
O'er vale, and mountain, and the starless sky.
Now, in this blank of things, a harmony,
Home-felt, and home-created, comes to heal
That grief for which the senses still supply
Fresh food; for only then, when memory
Is hushed, am I at rest. My Friends! restrain
Those busy cares that would allay my pain;
Oh! leave me to myself, nor let me feel
The officious touch that makes me droop again.

William Wordsworth

My father passed away this past June 20th,
and I just haven't felt much up to
stumbling as of late.
There is a sadness deep within my heart.
So please enjoy your visit here,
look deep into my archives,
and I hope you enjoy my insight into
how I see life.

Thanks for stopping by.

My dad as a child,
precocious, full of happiness,
so naive to the world ahead of him.
A man who was loved by all
and for good reason,
he was the kindest most lovable
soul I've ever known.

I will miss you Dad,
with such an intensity,
forever will you be in
my heart.

The love I have for you
will be the torch that
helps me to carry on ~ ♥

My father who had been very ill
in the hospital the last few weeks,
passed away yesterday afternoon.

There is a deep deep sadness within
my family. So if you could see your way
to send prayers and condolences to my
mom, I know it would help to heal her heart.

A thank you to everyone for their prayers and well
wishes for my father, it was most appreciated.

Well, the day has come and gone,
I needed a bit to recover from
my nerves going whacko crazy!

It was a great launching, two stores
in FNAC, and was a hit!

Here's a shot of my book set up
right after we arrived at the first
launching =)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms,
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.
Thanks to your love a certain fragrance,
risen darkly from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride,
so I love you because I know no other way than this:
where "I" does not exist, nor "you,"
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close that your eyes close and I fall asleep.

-Pablo Neruda

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

For you my ♥ love ♥

WOOT!
Well, I did it!
My book is now here!
How excited am I?
VERY!

There are 24 of my poems accompanied with 24 of my photographs.
I am really thrilled at how it turned out.
