Fling off thy sadness!

Spring is coming...

I feel it in the soft air, see it in the tiny greening buds, hear it in the raucous calls of returning geese as they lumber across the sky...

I'm ready.

Awake, thou wintry earth -

Fling off thy sadness!

Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth

Your ancient gladness!

fill their lives with sweetness

Sweet...

 Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness

 sealed up until your friends are dead. 

Fill their lives with sweetness, speak cheering words

 while their ears can hear, 

and while their hearts can be thrilled

 and made happier by them. 

~ William Congreve

the first light in the sky (the last night in the house)

Love, sweet love.

Good bye, city house. Hello, country home!

“Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.”  -  Francesca Lia Block

one grand, sweet song

I know people who say things are "too sweet." There's no such thing in my book - there is never too much sweetness.
