COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Icarus drowning



Fish In Water


Sure
love is cruel
and selfish
and totally obtuse—
at least, blinded by the light,
young love is.

But we are older,
I to love
and you to be loved,
we have,
no matter how,
by our wills survived
to keep
the jeweled prize
always
at our finger tips.

— William Carlos Williams

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
