Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty

It's been a lovely day -- not quite as much sun as I would have liked, but much warmer and in a way the beautiful colors seem even more beautiful against the gray/blue skies. So, I decided to share not only the lovely colors, but the lovely words that some have written about spring. This line by Gzowski does indeed express my feelings lately!!

We need spring. We need it desperately, and, usually, we need it before God is willing to give it to us.
- Peter Gzowski

But as you wind down your day, take time to appreciate the beauty that can be seen most everywhere -- if you take the time to look.


And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Sensitive Plant

Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly--and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.
- Omar Khayyám


Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.
- Virgil A. Kraft
