It seems we stood and talked like this before. We looked at each other in the same way then, But I can’t remember where or when. The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore. The smile you are smiling you were smiling then, But I can’t remember where or when. Some things that happened... Read More

On a clear day, rise and look around you, And you’ll see who you are. On a clear day, how it will astound you That the glow of your being outshines every star! You’ll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore. You can hear from far and near A word you’ve never, never heard... Read More

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy... Read More
