There was nothing separate about her days. Like drops on the window-pane, they ran together and trickled away.

The road


The Road Goes Ever On

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.


J. R. R. Tolkien

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

Dreams

Our dreams are luminous, a cast fire upon the world. Morning arrives and that's it.
Sunlight darkens the earth.

Leaves are the snow of autumn

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.
E. E. Cummings

A rose's dress.


Tell me, is the rose naked
or is that her only dress?
Pablo Neruda
