Quote of the Day

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread

places to play in and pray in,

where nature may heal and give strength

to body and soul alike.

~ from THE YOSEMITE by John Muir

Poetry comes out of silence and yearns for silence. Like us, it travels from one silence to another. It is like flight, like a circling over silence.

~ Max Picard
