come over the hills and far with me

"We not only need to sleep every night to rest our bodies, we also need to rest our minds. Many of us have a hard time turning off our minds. And when that happens, sleep is difficult and true rest almost impossible. Practice slowing down your mind by placing stressful thoughts on an imaginary leaf and setting each leaf in a gentle stream and watching it float away."

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”... MARILYN MONROE


"The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.” (Marilyn Monroe) "


"I learned at a very early age that life is a battle.” ...... SUSAN HAYWARD

I swear, since seeing Your face,
the whole world is fraud and fantasy
The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf
or blossom. The distracted birds
can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare.

Rumi

an example of how artists see art: "James Gavin:
I recently looked through some images of Andrew Wyeth's paintings whose works I studied in the younger days - esp the watercolors; and I found this piece which I have never seen before which just swung me for a loop...Jupiter being ubiquitous, sense of finality- new begin-ings; from our Earth plane struggle."
