Greet the moon,
Drink the sky,
Revel in birdsong,
Swim in lilac,
Embrace the tree,
Delight in tulips,
Relish the orange,
Marvel at friendship,
Rest in stillness,
Savor his kiss,
Reach for eternity,
Trust its embrace.

I teach ethics and a variety of other courses at a local college. I am the author of the blog Love is Stronger.

Your drawings are a delight to my mind 🙂 Your post helped me slow down and indulge in your words and the beautiful surroundings I am in.

I especially love the spiral with the stars 🙂
I am so glad to hear that, Nik! I have loved painting spiral universe pictures lately.
I love your spring poem and especially the pictures!
Thank you so much, Mom! That’s really sweet!
