About a week ago, a winter snow storm brought at least 7 inches of snow here. It began late Tuesday night and continued throughout Wednesday and into Thursday. It was a very cloudy time. Then, on Friday, the sun came out! This is a view out a window on the east side of my house, sunshine on trees weighed down with snow, under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

Please note, my title is from a poem by e.e. cummings:

"i thank You God for most this amazing

day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes"

....always

it's

Spring and everyone's

in love and flowers pick themselves....

e.e. Cummings

"...Here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)"

E. E. Cummings

My soul wraps and nurtures my heart so It knows... always did... :)

Have a magic day you all!

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life

which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

these children singing in stone a

silence of stone these

little children wound with stone

flowers opening for

ever these silently lit

tle children are petals

their song is a flower of

always their flowers

of stone are

silently singing

a song more silent

than silence these always

children forever

singing wreathed with singing

blossoms children of

stone with blossoming

eyes

know if a

lit tle

tree listens

forever to always children singing forever

a song made

of silent as stone silence of

song

~ e.e. cummings

this is the garden:colours come and go,

frail azures fluttering from night's outer wing

strong silent greens serenely lingering,

absolute lights like baths of golden snow.

This is the garden pursed lips do blow

upon cool flutes within wide glooms,and sing

(of harps celestial to the quivering string)

invisible faces hauntingly and slow.

This is the garden. Time shall surely reap

and on Death's blade lie many a flower curled,

in other lands where other songs be sung;

yet stand They here enraptured,as among

The slow deep trees perpetual of sleep

some silver-fingered fountain steals the world.

[eecummings]

... (secretly adoring shyly

tiny winging darting floating

merry in the blossoming

always joyful selves are singing)

sweet spring is your

time is my time is our

time for springtime is lovetime

and viva sweet love”

[eecummings]

I feel like I am running on empty again today and needed a pick me up. Soooo, one of my favorite sounds is birds softly chirping, it always cheers me. Seeing there are no birds around to sing, I decided to draw some, haha. Then, it hit me to take a still life. Hmm, another creative process? ;)

Today is the 12th day of Valentine's month of February; I must include laughter in my February love group. Laughter keeps one younger, lightens up everyone's mood, and can change the direction of the general mood from a sad, gloomy one to a happy and joyous one. Laughter in itself is a kind of medicine, one that we cannot live without!

Laughing Song

William Blake

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,

And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;

When the air does laugh with our merry wit,

And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;

when the meadows laugh with lively green,

And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene,

When Mary and Susan and Emily

With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha, ha he!"

When the painted birds laugh in the shade,

Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread:

Come live, and be merry, and join with me,

To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha, ha, he!"

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Charlie Chaplin

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

E.E. Cummings

We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.

Ellen DeGeneres

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

~ee cummings

joyful your complete fearless and pure love

with one least ignorance may comprehend

more than shall ever provingly disprove

eithering vastnesses of orish mind

- nothing believable inhabits here:

overs of known descend through depths of guess,

shadows are substances and wings are birds;

unders of dream adventure truths of skies -

darling of darlings!by that miracle

which is the coming of pure joyful your

fearless and complete love,all safely small

big wickedly worlds of world disappear

all and(like any these my)words of words

turn to a silence who's the voice of the voice

~ e.e.cummings ~

i like my body when it is with your

body. It is so quite a new thing.

Muscles better and nerves more.

i like your body. i like what it does,

i like its hows. i like to feel the spine

of your body and its bones, and the trembling

-firm-smooth ness and which i will

again and again and again

kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,

i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz

of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes

over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you quite so new

i carry your hearts with me ...

have a lovely weekend y'all.

since feeling is first

who pays any attention

to the syntax of things

will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool

while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,

and kisses are a far better fate

than wisdom

lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry

--the best gesture of my brain is less than

your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then

laugh, leaning back in my arms

for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

"I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing

than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance"

e. e. cummings

This is in celebration of my oldest grandson & grandchild, Seba, who is 18 years old today! Here's to new horizons, much fun and plenty of good luck in the years ahead Sweetheart!

Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things.

Walt Disney

There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path.

Buddha

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

George Sand

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

E.E. Cummings

Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.

i thank You God for most this amazing

day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth

day of life and love and wings:and of the gay

great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing

breathing any--lifted from the no

of all nothing--human merely being

doubt unimaginable You?

now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

"maggie and millie and molly and may"

maggie and millie and molly and may

went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang

so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,

and millie befriended a stranded star

who's rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles

and may came home with a smooth round stone

as small as a world and as large as alone.

for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

~ E. E. Cummings ~

"'Now' is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream. You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating."

~ Barbara Sher ~

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
