She Leaves A Stone And I leave A Leaf

"Spirit is Life
it flows thru the death of me
endlessly like a river
unafraid of becoming the sea." 
-written by George Corso -
 
This quote found on Corso's Grave stone.
 
This photo I took of a postcard I framed decades ago.
It is "Eugnostos with the mighty horn set in silver,
and the small unicorn, not seen before, 
outside the window".
It comes from "Unicornis - On the History and Truth
of the Unicorn"
"For every seeker of the beautiful and wondrous."

With Reverence

 
 
"What you encounter,
 recognize or discover,
depends to a large degree
upon the quality of your approach,
so when we approach with reverence,
great things
 decide to approach us." 
 
John O'Donohue 

This beautiful little sleeping creature
is an Australian ant-eater,
Brown Antichinus (Antechinus stuartii)

Silence Is Golden

I said, as we were seated briefly
and hurriedly eating our lunch in the crowded food hall,
 
"I have got something sad I have to tell you".
"Don't tell me", he answered.

I was silent.
And I didn't tell him.
Will he wonder ever, what I left unsaid?

Is there some peace in the 'not knowing'?
