I sat today, writing in that scramble of inspiration. Feverish almost. Gathering words before they flew away. My heart thumped in my chest and my spirit longed to soar, high and free. Ah, there it was: Beethoven’s 5th Piano Concerto fitting my mood perfectly. The incredible wafts of melody in the first movement. Intense harmony. [...]

When was the last time you felt really loved, cherished, nurtured? If you’re not feeling valued, cared for, or nourished – you’re not alone.

What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the dawn! ~Logan Pearsall Smith Beauty feeds my soul. Beauty lifts my spirits when I am down.

I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dropped it carelessly, Ah! I didn’t know, I held opportunity. ~Hazel Lee~ image: Energy Ball by jam343
