A place for sharing lovely thoughts,
A place to reflect, to think and ponder,
A place to gather lovely stones,
That constructs make, yet room to wander.
– Watergirl
These Little Wonders
“As with the skirt of her mantle the dark wipes out the day, so with her sleep the night makes a man fresh for the new day’s journey. If it were not for sleep, the world could not go on. To feel the mystery of day and night, to gaze into the far receding spaces of their marvel, is more than to know all the combinations of chemistry. A little wonder is worth tons of knowledge.”

Who Build a Dike
The fact on our side, to be held firmly, is that the tide against us is only a tide; that is, it is a dead thing. Its rapidity is all routine; whereas we, whether we win or drown, who build a dike, are alive.
— GK Chesterton
Two Natures
There seemed to be two natures in the man, which all his music had not yet been able to blend.
