Evening, Thoughts and Beauty



Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein



Do all things with love.
Og Mandino



Beneath
the petals
spread in clinical precision
shoulder to shoulder
fresh and blue
clustered en masse
secure
in the safety
of numbers,
are
the hardworking,
rough skinned
upward looking
leaves
flaring out
tangled
mostly in tolerance,
in each other,
some purple
at the edges
due to strain,
some coming up
with new ones,
and some,
slogging away beneath
in proletarian style
so that
the blues
may enjoy their day
in the sun.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
