For some reason I'm feeling very chatty today. There's a warmth in my heart that has been missing for a while and I feel like I might burst if I don't share all of the things that are delighting me today.

I can hear wind chimes in the alley behind my building.

A fat squirrel has been keeping me company as I write, feasting on the pieces of rice cakes I put on the deck for him and the birds.

And T. Thorn Coyle is entreating us to pass on the words of love and peace that she shared in her Musings today:

I did not stop in the struggle.

I did not stop marching toward life,

toward peace, toward bread for all,

but I lifted you in my arms

and I nailed you to my kisses

and I looked at you as never

again will human eyes look at you.

- an excerpt from "Oblivion" by Pablo Neruda

When the world shall have learnt to love, the world will be saved.

- Eliphas Levi, from "Paradoxes of the Highest Science"

Thank you Thorn, I needed that.

Thanks, too, to Hecate for sharing The Journey, by Mary Oliver.
