A line of gold thread...

There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.

 ~John Gregory Brown,Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994

Hundreds....

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.

~George Cooper

Stairway set....Reach to God.......

Primeval forests! virgin sod! That Saxon has not ravish'd yet, Lo! peak on peak in stairways set- In stepping stairs that reach to God! Here we are free as sea or wind, For here are set Time's snowy tents In everlasting battlements Against the march of Saxon mind.

Joaquin Miller

Searching for a magic door....

Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace. 

~Eugene O'Neill
