“And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it’s not some place you can look for, ‘cause it’s not where you go. It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something, and if you find that moment… it lasts forever…”

- Richard in Enchanted Beach With Three Fluid Graces- -1938 -Salvador Dali

~Mother Nature~

Mother Nature starred at me

As human, and as a lamb

Adapted to the catastrophe that I created

Yet had no voice to talk back

I was once feeding from a sheep

When my mother’s milk dried out

My existence depended on her existence

Nature my still flourishing enemy

You provide me with food, comfort, and care

Yet I destroy you

And again you adapt yourself with me so I can live and survive?

What will happen to me if you die?

What will happen to us?

This river between us

If it dries out

I will still stand

But where will you be?

You drink it without wasting a drop

And I drop it so I can remember that I have to drink

I take it for granted

While you bow towards it with your naivety

And don’t question what I’ve done?

What I have taken from you?

You and I are not so different

We are both Nature

However the good in me wants to provide

The bad in me destroys

Once again you sacrifice for my survival

You give

And give

And I take, and I forget…

“Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.” -Luis Bunuel

The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

- Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
