Leaves
"How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow."
- by Elsie N. Brady
Solitude, Late at Night in the Woods
"The body is like a November birch facing the full moon
And reaching into the cold heavens.
In these trees there is no ambition, no sodden body, no leaves,
Nothing but bare trunks climbing like cold fire!
My last walk in the trees has come. At dawn
I must return to the trapped fields,
To the obedient earth.
The trees shall be reaching all the winter.
It is a joy to walk in the bare woods.
The moonlight is not broken by the heavy leaves.
The leaves are down, and touching the soaked earth,
Giving off the odors that partridges love."
- Robert Bly
Autumn Song
Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row.
- Katherine Mansfield

Magnified Thoughts
Sunday, November 1, 2009
Your thoughts are more powerful than you can ever realize. For there is a part of you that faithfully puts each thought into action without question.Your thoughts affect every part of you in ways much too numerous to ever keep track of. Each thought sets off a cascade of responses within you that cannot be stopped.
What you think, affects where your life goes. For each thought is magnified and manifested through the whole of your existence.
Positive thinking empowers much more than your thoughts. Negative thinking can dismantle every part of your life.
You always have a choice of what to think. When making that choice, always remember each thought has great power that continues long after the thought has passed from your consciousness.
Though thinking does not make it so, thinking makes you make it so. What you think becomes what you live.
