I did not hear the words you said. Instead, I heard the love.

How easy the breath that kills a flame, How hard to kindle that light again. Cold words kill and kind words kindle, By words withheld a dream may dwindle.

— Joan Walsh Anglund, from "Cold Words" in "A Cup of Sun" (Harcourt Brace & World, 1967) (via @djgreer)

"Today’s Gift

June 2

Thoughts, rest your wings. Here is a hollow of silence, a nest of stillness, in which to hatch your dreams.

—Joan Walsh Anglund

There is silence in the nest before an egg is hatched. The mother robin must sit quietly and warm them enough to be hatched. During this time, the mother concentrates only on her eggs. She does not let herself be distracted.

There is a time of silence before anything creative is born. And there is silence in the mind before an idea is discovered. A nest is a safe place birds can always return to and be at home. We all need such a nest of silence – a place where we can be quiet and safe, where we can let ourselves be held, and rest.

Often, our best ideas come out of these quiet moments. Times of silence are good for our souls. Just like the robin eggs hatching, so will dreams and solutions grow out of our own nest of stillness.

How well will I use my quiet time today?"

Katydid: Country Bunny. 25 years ago when my daughter was in kindergarten, she bought this book at the school book sale. Years later I found the counted cross stitch pattern and stitched it. I display them around Easter each year.

Joan Walsh Anglund’s Easter Eggs by Designs by Gloria & Pat. I cross stitched this many years ago. This book had a lot of sweet patterns in it.

What matters? Very little. Only… the flicker of light within the darkness, the feeling of warmth within the cold, the knowledge of love within the void.

A small speckled visitor wearing a crimson cape, brighter than a cherry, smaller than a grape. A polka-dotted someone, walking on my wall, a black-hooded lady In a scarlet shawl.
