Within your heart,

keep one still, secret spot

where dreams may go.

Words of Love: Love Light

Candle light,
Moon light,
Star light.

The brightest glow is from
Love light.

Grey Livingston

A Definition of Love

Love is...

a wildly misunderstood, although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.

Word of Love - Kisses

Kisses are a better fate
than wisdom.

e.e. cummings

Word of Love from Poet Henry Van Dyke

Time is too slow for those who wait,

too swift for those who fear,

too long for those who grieve,

to short for those who rejoice,

but for those who love,

time is eternity.

Henry Van Dyke

Words of Love from the Heart

To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart,

and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.

Words of Love: Within You is Absolute Love

Within you is one of the most beautiful oases you will ever find: 

it is absolute love.

Seek the oasis within your heart, mind and soul.

If you cannot find your oasis, you are living in a desert.

Walk out of the desert, into the openness of your mind,

and you will see your oasis.

Start your journey by loving yourself each day.

Fill your chalice with love from your oasis within,

so when you meet others who are thristy on the road of life,

you have something to share.

Ron Rathbun

Words of Love: Romantic Inspiration from Brahma Sutra

When the one man loves the one woman and the one woman loves the man, the very angels desert heaven and come and sit in the house and sing for joy.

Brahma Sutra

Words of Love: Romantic Inspiration from George Moore

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it.  You and you alone make me feel that I am alive.  Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

George Moore

Love Letters: Valentine's Day Inspiration from Thomas Hood

Words of Love: Valentine Inspiration from Marc Chagall

In our life there is a single color,
as on an artist's pallete,
which provides the meaning of life and art.

It is the color of love.

National Poetry Month

At the moment freezing rain is beating at the windows, yet it was 76 degrees yesterday! I think perhaps March is, indeed, the cruelest month. Mother Nature has a wicked sense of humor.

Since my jewelry always seem to reflect my passion for flowers, in celebration of National Poetry Month, here's a bit of a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem that I adore:

What if you slept, and if in your sleep you dreamed,
And what if in your dream you went to heaven and there
Plucked a strange and beautiful flower, and what if when you
Awoke you had the flower in your hand?
Ah, what then?
