Each one sees what he carries in his heartGoetheAtop the fence'sCorner postA squirrel or maybe a crow Took lunch of a tasty pecan,Snapped the nut meat neatlyFrom its wooden casing,Left behind for usThe still green husk.For interest's sake Not a poor trade on My day.

The telescope makes the world smaller, it is only the microscope that makes it larger.G. K. ChestertonIn the waning afternoon lightI find fallen leaves across my path Like letters from summerI read these notesEvery word I try to read what is writtenBetween the linesWisdom must come from life Lived so short a timeYet, so gloriously well.

Abundance is food enough to share and spare.Fruit in a bowl Sight for the eye and the soulOne day oranges or peachesAnother day I find pears and figsBananas, grapefruit, tangerinesBounty of the fruit bowlToday tomatoes and yellow/greenRed blushed apples.
