FANCIESSURELY the flowers of a hundred springsAre simply the souls of beautiful things!The poppies aflame with gold and redWere the kisses of lovers in days that are fled.The purple pansies with dew-drops pearledWere the rainbow dreams of a youngling world.The lily, white as a star apart,Was the first pure prayer of a virgin heart.The daisies that dance and twinkle soWere the laughter of children in long ago.The sweetness of all true friendship yetLives in the breath of the mignonette.To the white narcissus there must belongThe very delight of a maiden's song.And the rose, all flowers of the earth above,Was a perfect, rapturous thought of love.Oh! surely the blossoms of all the springsMust be the souls of beautiful things.Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942)
Dear Lisa: I have three kids and wish I could stay home more. Right now I am at my second job working an overnight shift. But it has given me the opportunity to write, which is what I would love to be able to do as a full time career. I did somehow manage to get my first novel published in April.It might be something you'd like. It's called HUNTING THE KING, and it features Molly O'Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother's death in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother's death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college in Boston. Now an archaeologist, she is recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to know who or what is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As a loyal Catholic, she is scared that what she finds may have devastating consequences for her faith. There is an awesome YouTube book trailer well worth watching to give you an idea of the power of the book. If you get the chance, I hope you'll take the time to watch it and let me know your feelings. Thanks. Peter
HAHAHAHAAHAHA!! Look what I've started! :)
Lisa - I have gotten nearly no work done today! This has been completely addictive. Just can't stop finding books.......Love,Terri
Oh geez, Are you trying to tell me something. Now I have to remember the books I've read. I've been slack. I don't think I've read a book in a year. Do children's books count?
