said too much, but not enough..

She filled my house with flowers
and i helped her look for rainbows -
she understood the importance of so many things,
the importance of laughter
adn that each moment is forever -
she dreamed impossible dreams,
smiled at strangers
because they might be lonely
and loved music, bells and butterflies
I'll think of her on sunlit days
and see her smile
in every flower....

The thoughts of Nanuska Vol i-vi
Nan Whitcomb


We look before and after,
And pine for what is not;
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell
of saddest thought.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
