"When I am silent, I fall into a place where everything is the melody." ~ Rumi
“Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.” ~ John Ruskin
"Sometimes I've seen, Sometimes I've heard, Up in the tree A little bird, Singing a song, A song to me, A little brown bird Up in the tree. Sometimes he stays, Sometimes he sings, Then to the wind He spreads his wings, Flying away, Away from me, A little brown bird Up in the tree." ~ Margaret Rose
