Today has been the foggiest day so far... i was so happy this morning when i drew the curtains to peep outside and what a view!!! A milky white curtain hung low all over... making everything beautiful, dewy and dreamy instantly.
Too bad, i did not have the time to go for a leisurely walk!!! Whenever the clouds reach to kiss earth, i like to think nature is onto something special ...Point Reyes, California is supposed to be one of the foggiest land areas in the world with over 200 foggy days a year.
Encouraging words from a loved one when one is beaten and down is like the beautiful fog that comes down to offer solace, to renew and refresh our confidence.
Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely...
About Me
- Ash
- All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. ~ Leo Tolstoy ~
If I can
If I can throw
a single ray of light,
Across the darkened
pathway of another;
If I can aid
some soul to clearer sight
Of light and duty
and thus bless my brother;
If I can wipe
from any human cheek a tear
I shall not have,
then, lived in vain while here.
If I can guide
some erring to truth
Inspire within his heart
A sense of duty;
If I can plant
within the soul of a rosy plant
A sense of light
A love of truth and beauty;
If I can teach one man
that God and Heaven are near;
I shall not have, then,
lived in vain while here.
If from my mind
I can banish doubt and fear
And keep my life attuned to truth,
love and kindness;
If I can scatter light
and hope and cheer
And help and remove
the curse of mental blindness;
If I can make joy more,
more hope, less pain
I shall not have,
lived in vain while here.
If by life’s road side
I can plant a tree
Beneath whose shade
some wearied head may rest
Though I may never
share its shade
or see Its beauty
I shall yet be truly blessed
Though no one knows my name.
