Love Notes on Spoonflower

It was not in me ear you whispered but into my heart; 
It was not my lips you kissed but my soul.

-- Judy Garland

So Romantic!

I just love how my latest project turned out!  Sometimes I just squeal with delight and my heart fills with such joy when a project turns out so wonderful.  I just gotta say, what a lovely portrait of this romantic couple AND to embellish it with one of my most favorite love poems of all times!!! I Carry Your Heart by E.E. Cummings!

I Carry Your Heart
Wishing everyone a most romantic day!

Trusting your Own Inner Nature


Identity

Accolades can usher in
great trouble for your body.
Censure can herald misery.

Why can favor and disfavor
both be harmful?

Because both accolades and censure,
when filtered through self ego,
always place us in jeopardy.

But when the universe becomes your self,
when you love the world as yourself,
all reality becomes your haven,
reinventing you as your own heaven.

Only then, will you transcend tense
to fully be here now.
Only then, no harm
will the universe proffer
nor you to her,
for you will be
not you but she
and both - the universal Great Integrity.


Verse 13 of the Tao Te Ching
The Tao Te Ching: Translation, Commentary and Introduction by Ralph Alan Dale
