All That Shines

"In the morning, celebrate the beauty and warmth of sunlight.

In the evening, celebrate the song of silence and love of night."

Debasish Mridha

Time spent at the lake

is never wasted.

GOOD FENCES

I'm lucky to have found places where it's hard knowing which side of the tracks is prettier.  

"We can never be born enough." 
E. E. Cummings

E. E. Cummings begged

"Go sailing away and away sailing into a keen city which nobody's ever visited."

I agree... and just be free.

"The snow doesn't give a soft white damn about whom it touches."

E. E. Cummings

... and so because of that one simple act of old man winter

it's days like this we Minnesotans soak up as many summer rays as possible.

In a short while, these boats will be,
sailing their dreams away.

Just a few blocks away,this poor little, lonely restaurant sits empty without a soul in sight,


 and it was so used to the laughter of people
 that once gathered here.

"wholly to be a fool
while spring is in the world"
E. E. Cummings

The spring of immensely bigger and colossally better establishments, tear down, rebuild and haul back the folks, that's always been the mind set around these suburbs. Quite sad, for those of us peacefully enjoying quaint little bits of history.

and this is/was the rear entrance.

From the other side of the tracks,

said the one flower to the other

"I will take the sun in my mouth 

and leap into the ripe air

Alive

with closed eyes

to dash against darkness."

E. E. Cummings

Sounds lovely, don't you think?
