 “Forever – is composed of Nows – (690)


Forever – is composed of Nows –
‘Tis not a different time –
Except for Infiniteness –
And Latitude of Home –

From this – experienced Here –
Remove the Dates – to These –
Let Months dissolve in further Months –
And Years – exhale in Years –

Without Debate – or Pause –
Or Celebrated Days –
No different Our Years would be
From Anno Dominies –”

― Emily Dickinson, The Poems of Emily Dickinson (Goodreads)

Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads ... and give back!

Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads, laugh as much as you can, and give back.

As mother nature preps for her deep sleep, let us all remember the importance of rest!!

Take rest; a field that has rested

gives a beautiful crop.

I am a HUGE fan of the colder months, much to many of my friend's disbelief. Besides the fact that I don't do well in the heat, I find that the cooler temperatures offer many opportunities to curl up and take a moment to pause. Similar to what much of Mother Nature does, burrowing down, underground to regroup and recharge.

So as we head into October and the next few months full of holidays, merriment and many gathering, I felt a good quote for this month's calendar is a friendly reminder of the importance of taking a rest!!

Happy October!!

peace, virginia
