@shorty......what a wonderful quote from Louisa......love her words : ) <br />They are quite the inspirations and LOVE.....I would think Michael would love to read them:<br /><br />"A faithful friend is a strong defense; <br />And he that hath found him hath found a treasure."<br /><br /><br />"Love is a great beautifier."<br /><br />― Louisa May Alcott<br /><br />*her first published piece was Flower Fables.......it's said she earned all of about $35, and was very pleased by it : ) <br />

“But little Mouse, you are not alone,<br />In proving foresight may be vain:<br />The best laid schemes of mice and men<br />Go often askew,<br />And leave us nothing but grief and pain,<br />For promised joy!<br />Still you are blest, compared with me!” <br /><br />― Robert Burns

<br /><br />If I am not mistaken, this is the same Scottish Robert Burns who wrote Auld Lang Syne ...the traditional song of New Year's Eve....<br />I also love the last few lines of this very poem you quoted from Jowayria: <br /><br />The present only touches you:<br />But oh! I backward cast my eye,<br />On prospects dreary!<br />And forward, though I cannot see,<br />I guess and fear!<br /><br />-from To a Mouse<br /><br />lol......I feel like we are the little nest of mice sometimes.....Michael, this adventure ever proves that <br />a person can learn a new thing each and every day. To this, I say thank you! We follow your lead, <br />and spread LOVE, spread kindness and be all the light we can be. I love reading the words of <br />love and inspirations here.....because they are for you, it makes it all the better. Be blessed. <br /><br />Blessing Always <br /><br />

<br />Hi wishingstar.Yes "Robbie" Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne. <br /><br />I know what you are saying..about feeling like one of a nest of little mice! <br /><br />But don't despair..consider this>><br /> "Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible" Anon.<br />and "Hope is Faith holding out its hand in the darkness!" Anon<br />(I have yet to meet a sweet mouse that can think thus far "out of the nest" ( "box") :icon_e_biggrin: LOLx )<br /><br />......but on second thoughts, maybe we are just like mice? We need warmth, comfort and food.. and are inquisitive..<br />(I pass by the chewing of clothes and nibbling cheese and leaving bits around the chair legs, though! LOL! :icon_e_smile:)<br /><br />But do mice understand the concept of L.O.V.E., Hope and Faith? and other such mystical wonders?? <br />I know Beatrix Potter thought so! <br /><br />I guess I do, when I hear the birds chattering in the trees outside my window..<br />... I feel sure they are having a perfectly logical conversation about the best Branch Cafe in town!!<br /> <br />And then they fly there, with Hopes and Aspirations regarding the outcome? <br /><br />L.O.V.E. , Light and Peace to you wishingstar,to Michael, and to all! x :icon_e_smile: :bearhug:<br /><br /><br /><br />
I adore Beatrix Potter.....<br /><br />“I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense.” <br />― Beatrix Potter, The Complete Tales<br /><br />Michael......you could have written these very words. Indeed, what a heaven it would be! <br /><br />Love & Hugs to you! <br /><br /> :bearhug:<br />

This quote below could have been written about Michael>>> <br /> <br />( but it is a quote from a book of fiction, titled "Saving June") <br />by young author Hannah Harrington.<br /><br />"He took his pain and turned it into something beautiful.<br /> Into something that people connect to.<br />And that's what good music does.<br />It speaks to you, it changes you"<br /><br />Just to say, thank you Michael. <br />L.O.V.E. x
