Quote of the Week
If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.

Night Sky
Under the starlit cloak, a canvas so vast,
Where happiness and sadness gently contrast.
The night sky whispers tales of joy and woe,
A tapestry of emotions that ebb and flow.
Twinkling stars, like laughter’s gleaming light,
Dance amidst darkness, painting dreams in flight.
Yet, the moon, a beacon of sorrow’s plight,
Casts a shadow of sadness in the quiet night.
But fear not, dear wanderer, for hope resides,
In constellations, where resilience abides.
For every tear shed, a shooting star takes flight,
Granting wishes that pierce through darkest night.
In this celestial stage, where light meets dark,
We find solace in the heavens’ gentle arc.
For sorrow and joy, entwined in cosmic rhyme,
Illuminate the path to a better time.
So gaze upon the night sky with wonder and grace,
Embrace the bittersweet, the beauty it will trace.
For in its depths, we find a truth so rare,
That happiness and sadness are a celestial pair.

Alone and Sad
In solitude’s embrace, where silence hides,
A weary heart, its loneliness confides.
With every breath, a burdened soul soars,
A poignant tale of sadness it explores.
Embrace of emptiness, a chilling embrace,
Where tears and whispers fill the empty space.
Alone, yet surrounded, in a crowded sea,
The weight of desolation becomes decree.
In twilight’s shroud, a solitary plight,
Where stars may fade, concealed from sight.
A melancholy symphony echoes through,
The heart’s lament, in shades of blue.
But hark! For in the darkest night, a gleam,
A fragile ember of hope’s redeem.
For even in desolation’s cruel domain,
Companionship’s solace can still remain.
Reach out, dear soul, extend your weary hand,
Seek solace in connections that expand.
For hearts can heal, and loneliness can mend,
When shared with others, the pain may transcend.
Remember, dear one, you’re not alone,
Though sadness haunts, your spirit has grown.
In every verse and rhyme, we find our way,
Together we shall conquer, come what may.
Quote of the Week
We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.
~Leo Tolstoy
