My Heart Is Like A Singing Bird
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these,
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks...

On Caring
What you feel would be more important than what I know
I’d look you in the eyes when you talk to me
I’d think about what you’re saying rather than what I’m going to say next
I’d hear your feelings as well as your words
I’d listen without defending
I’d hear without deciding whether you are right or wrong
I’d ask you why and how, not just when...
When you need to fly from your home, it’s not a home. Home should be where the birds feelings are free not caged

“The earth has music for those who listen”
– William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary”
– Aaron Rose
In a vacuum all photons travel at the same speed. They slow down when travelling through air or water or glass. Photons of different energies are slowed down at different rates. If Tolstoy had known this, would he have recognised the terrible untruth at the beginning of Anna Karenina? ‘All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own particular way.’ In fact...

– Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849)
I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
but the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light and the stillness, the dancing.
-T.S. Eliot (1888 - 1965)
The Peace Of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above...
