Perfecting the art of the living contradiction.

Two pictures and a lovely poem

November afternoon: Sena, Aiyana, and their cousins Julia, Stella and Lucy reading books together


And a beautiful poem by one of my favorite poets:
 
Prayer
by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Until I lose my soul and lie
Blind to the beauty of the earth,
Deaf though shouting wind goes by,
Dumb in a storm of mirth;

Until my heart is quenched at length
And I have left the land of men,
Oh, let me love with all my strength
Careless if I am loved again.
