Peep

Pause

Nothing that is can pause or stay. The moon will wax. The moon will wane. The mist and cloud will turn to rain. The rain to mist and cloud again. Tomorrow be today.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Alive

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

Awake

Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

Henry David Thoreau

Hear

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

Friedrich Nietzsche
