Path that Leads to Nowhere...

Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861-1933)
THE PATH THAT LEADS
NOWHERE

THERE'S a path that leads to Nowhere
In a meadow that I know,
Where an inland island rises
And the stream is still and slow;
There it wanders under willows,
And beneath the silver green
Of the birches' silent shadows
Where the early violets lean.

Other pathways lead to Somewhere,
But the one I love so well
Has no end and no beginning—
Just the beauty of the dell,
Just the wind-flowers and the lilies
Yellow-striped as adder's tongue,
Seem to satisfy my pathway
As it winds their scents among.

There I go to meet the Springtime,
When the meadow is aglow,
Marigolds amid the marshes,—
And the stream is still and slow.
There I find my fair oasis,
And with care-free feet I tread
For the pathway leads to Nowhere,
And the blue is overhead!

All the ways that lead to Somewhere
Echo with the hurrying feet
Of the Struggling and the Striving,
But the way I find so sweet
Bids me dream and bids me linger,
Joy and Beauty are its goal,—
On the path that leads to Nowhere
I have sometimes found my soul!
(Cool fact, that 'i' didn't know...Corinne Roosevelt Robinson was the sister of United States President Theodore Roosevelt.

The Eye of the Beholder

Dandelions are NOT weeds!
See?
They have beautiful Yellow flowers on them.
They have lovely Green stems.
Mommy puts them In a jar of water In the kitchen -
They are flowers! See?
They are round. They are round and yellow.
Oh, mommy, Please tell him He's making a big mistake!
Poor little dandelions ... He's pulling them all up
And calling them "weeds."
Oh, this is So horrible, so sad!
What would God say if He saw you sending all of these
Poor, little, round, yellow Dandelion-flowers
Back to the Lord?

I love this quote...

"God is the friend of silence.See how nature-trees, flowers, grass-grows in silence;see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls."Mother Teresa
