you have to believe it to see it

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small
as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
"Move from here to there" and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible to you.
- Matthew 17:20

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond
the power of reason to believe. It is not enough
that a thing be possible for it to be believed.
- Voltaire

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone
who asks receives, he who seeks finds; and to him who
knocks, the door will be opened.
- Matthew 7:7-8

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth,
if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the
sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he
says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you,
whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received
it, and it will be yours."
- Mark 11:22-24

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey.
We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
- Stephen Covey

He who has hope has everything.
- Arabian Proverb

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.
- Emily Dickenson

Hope is like a bird that senses the dawn and carefully
starts to sing while it is still dark.

dream like children do

A BOAT, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July--

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear--

Long has paled that sunny sky;
Echoes fade and memories die;
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die;

Ever drifting down the stream--
Lingering in the golden gleam--
Life, what is it but a dream?

walking in a winter wonderland

I wonder if the snow

loves the trees and fields,

that it kisses them so gently?

And then it covers them up snug,

you know, with a white quilt;

and perhaps it says

“Go to sleep, darlings,

till the summer comes again."

~ Alice in Wonderland

the world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
