A Skein of Experience

 

November is a wise old woman

weaving words of wisdom

from a skein of experience

in the colors of sadness

and joy.

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness and carry the calm.

Pines, Like Waltzes

 

The ten hours’ light is abating,

And a late bird wings across,

Where the pines, like waltzes waiting,

Give their black heads a toss.

Beech leaves, that yellow the noon-time,

Float past like specks in the eye;

I set every tree in my June time,

And now they obscure the sky.

– Thomas Hardy, “At Day-Close in November” –

 

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.
