The Red Wheelbarrow

So much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

~ William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)

#Photography, William Carlos Williams with a few friends.

Very little grows
on jagged rock.
Be ground.

Be crumbled,
so wildflowers will come up
where you are.

You’ve been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender.

~ Rumi (1207-1273)

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels hierarchies...

#Painting, ‘Fallen Angel,’ Alexander Cabanel, 1847.

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips & the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses & with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances & delight

~ Shakespeare
