Favorite Quote:
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony.


Most would assume
She loathed
The anticipated agony
That seeped into her
Like black ambrosia
On crushed ice
However-
She despised gravity
For forcing it
To drain out-
Yellowing,
Poisoning,
Smoldering bones
While pirouetting down
Her wispy cotton self
Bound together
With calico magnolias
Once traced
By hopeful fingers
