MusicMusings&Poetry

I AM SO MANY CONTRASTS. I LOVE ELEGANCE AND BEAUTY. I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY AND STORIES OF OLD HOUSES AND CHURCHES, HISTORY OF THE VICTORIAN ERA. I AM DARK AND I AM LIGHT. I AM PASSIONATE, YET PROVOCATIVE, MYSTERIOUS,AND CONTEMPLATIVE. NATURE INSPIRES ME.I AM A CHILD OF THE WATER. I AM FIRE AND ICE. I AM RULED BY EMOTIONS AND YET PURSUE THE KNOWLEDGE OF BOOKS. MUSIC TOUCHES MY SOUL. MY PAGES ARE AS VARIED AS I AM AND THEREFORE HAVE MANY A VARIED THEME-

Ask me anything

  erospainter:

  You do not have to be good.
  You do not have to walk on your knees
  for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
  You only have to let the soft animal of your body
  love what it loves.
  Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
  Meanwhile the world goes on.
  Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
  are moving across the landscapes,
  over the prairies and the deep trees,
  the mountains and the rivers.
  Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
  are heading home again.
  Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
  the world offers itself to your imagination,
  call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
  over and over announcing your place
  in the family of things.”
  ― Mary Oliver
