I dismiss all my thoughts. They drift in the sky like small white clouds, not knowing where they are going to, but still full of confidence. I am calm and relaxed. Perfect peace prevails in my heart and my mind. I am in harmony with the world. Harmony flows through my whole Self. It is good that it is so.

--Affirmative Thoughts

HAPPINESS is not hard to find.
It’s beside you.
It’s in front of you.
It’s at your back.
It’s around you.
It’s just a matter of
APPRECIATION.

Take the best of care always.
God Bless.

somewhere i have never travelled
e.e. cummings

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.
