Amy's computer is giving her problems ,
And, she wanted me to wish everyone
A WONDERFUL TUESDAY!
(She'll keep trying and hopefully can get on later today!)
BEAUTIFUL.
I still remember your great place and warm hospitality close to my heart.
BTW, THANKS TONS
for the beautiful barns video/series.
Wonderful memories.
True philosophy.

Lightly she lifts the large, pure, luminous shell,
Poises it in her strong and shapely hand.
“Listen,” she says, “it has a tale to tell,
Spoken in language you may understand.”
Smiling, she holds it at my dreaming ear:
The old, delicious murmur of the sea
Steals like enchantment through me, and I hear
Voices like echoes of eternity.
She stirs it softly. Lo, another speech!
In one of its dim chambers, shut from sight,
Is sealed the water that has kissed the beach
Where the far Indian Ocean leaps in light.
Those laughing ripples, hidden evermore
In utter darkness, plaintively repeat
Their lapsing on the glowing tropic shore
In melancholy whispers low and sweet.
O prisoned wave that may not see the sun!
O voice that never may he comforted!
You cannot break the web that fate has spun;
Out of your world are light and gladness fled.
The red dawn nevermore shall tremble far
Across the leagues of radiant brine to you
You shall not sing to greet the evening star,
Nor dance exulting under heaven’s clear blue.
Inexorably woven is the weft
That shrouds from you all joy but memory;
Only this tender, low lament is left
Of all the sumptuous splendor of the sea.
Have a great day, Yorkie!
Just beautiful, yorkie!
Each day is a gift, Teenie! Thanks for the reminder! A good Tuesday to you, as well!!
Your “guardian deer” looks like he’s sleeping on the job!! LOL! Beautiful photo, Yorkie! Thank you!
Happy Tuesday, Meg! Love the graphic and poem!! Thank you! It’s been so many years since I’ve listened in to a sea shell!!
Yes, how right you are, Teenie! Each day IS a very precious gift! (Not the past, or the future, but the present - with a bow attached.)
Thank you for your kind words, Quix! Have a great day, today!
Thanks, SJB! YOU have a great day, too!
Y’all have a blessed Tuesday, too.
Today for me:
Working on something for Kindle—May be 80% done.
Studying Song of Solomon with a precious prophetic fellow at church.
Men’s group this evening going through WILD AT HEART video series by . . . what’s his face . . . John Eldridge.
Won’t get much done on the spare room today.
In case anyone wonders what Quix is talking about, when he says "barns", here is the video clip.
Turn on your speakers, and have a box of kleenex handy.
Thank you and you’re welcome..It’s been a long time since I listened to a seashell, too..
Thank you for the wonderful article yesterday by this fine AMERICAN.
I also thank you for the sweet compliments.
Good news about your business!
We all need a little reminder every now and then! :)
Have a wonderful one!
Mine have become extremely so!
And a *hug* back to you!
