friendship & trust…

‘Someone to tell it to, is one of the fundamental needs of human beings.’ Miles Franklin

cherish the times…

“in this short life
that only lasts an hour
how much-how little-is
within our power.”
― emily dickinson

the deeds & spoken words…

‘Let love’s apologies wait not ’til death’s doorway.’ Terri Guillemets

stages of life…

it was a gradual realization, now ever more clear…the stages of life, the precious connections…bittersweet of late

Recollections…

“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.” Virginia Woolf

ah, the pain of it all…

soon, a spot of shade…

“O woman!   In our hours of ease, uncertain, coy, and hard to please, and variable as the shade, by the light quivering aspen made; when pain and anguish wring the brow, a ministering angel thou” Sir Walter Scott
