You have to look with the heart ..

The rain has stopped still the sun is covered, I needed an archive to remind me the sun does & will eventually shine down on us once again..

Everything needs tending, from garden (if one would call it that) to roof to the belly of the basement, I'm tired of the sand castles, it feels like that, fix it so a wave can come and sweep it away from me...



"People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for...
"They don't find it," I answered.

"And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

"Of course," I answered.
And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart." "

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)

Sweet Pea

"Sweet Pea"

Sweet pea

Apple of my eye

Don't know when and I don't know why

You're the only reason I keep on coming home

Sweet pea

What's all this about

Don't get your way all you do is fuss and pout

You're the only reason I keep on coming home

I like the Rock of Gibraltar

I always seem to falter

And the words just get in the way

Oh I know I'm gonna crumble

I'm trying to stay humble

But I never think before I say

Sweet pea

Keeper of my soul

I know sometimes I'm out of control

You're the only reason I keep on coming

You're the only reason I keep on coming yeah

You're the only reason I keep on coming home

Lyrics by ( I presume) Amos Lee.

Myosotis (pronounced /ˌmaɪ.əˈsoʊtɪs/;[1] from the Greek: "mouse's ear", after the leaf) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae that are commonly called Forget-me-nots. Its common name was calqued from the French, "ne m'oubliez pas" and first used in English in c.1532. Similar names and variations are found in many languages.

In literature Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The mouse-ear forget-me-not, Myosotis laxa, has now extended its racemes (?) very much, and hangs over the edge of the brook. It is one of the most interesting minute flowers. It is the more beautiful for being small and unpretending; even flowers must be modest." [3] In Evangeline, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of Heaven, Blossom the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels. (the Evangeline trail in Nova Scotia was a lovely drive) In his 1947 long poem "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction," Wallace Stevens mentions the forget-me-not, using its scientific Greek-derived name: ...It observes the effortless weather turning blue And sees the myosotis on its bush." In the popular series [Harry Potter], [J.K. Rowling] frequently attributes nature and objects, generally attire, with the color "forget-me-not-blue" quoted from wikipedia a little greek music which I forget not..

Happy Western Easter

Thank you Kes for the blossoms, for the kindness, for your forgiveness,  

it makes my heartache... I wish I understood it, wish I could match it.
