"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

- Mathilde Blind - "April Rain"

 


 I wish you dear Friend a weekend with peace
and that you enjoy Mother Earth beauty.
With Love
Ana

"The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fool's Day;
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment."

 

... I wish you dear Friend a happy April's 1st
With Love
Ana

"The people I'm furious with
are the women's liberationists.
They keep getting up on soapboxes
and proclaiming
women are brighter than men.
That's true, but it should be kept quiet
or it ruins the whole racket."

- Anita Loos -
 New York Times, 10 February 1974

 

 ... I simply love this quote.
I hope that it makes you smile
With Love
Ana

Reasons to Smile:

- Remember its quite true to say
       One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
- It enriches those who receive,
Without making poorer those who give.
- Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap.
- The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.
- And after all this my dear Friend
Just give a big one: it's Weekend



... so, I wish you a wonderful one.
And, smile dear Friend
With Love

Good Bye Moon

We have roamed the wild country
We have seen mountains grow from hills
With my brothers and sisters
And now our time has came
The two-legs have come in
And killed all of our prey
We are all so confused
Because what have we done?
The two-legs killed my mother
My brothers and sisters too
The two-legs has got me.
I'll be with my family soon.
Now the two-legs is over me
As I get one last look
At my boloved moon.



... with Love
Ana

CONNECTED TO OUR MOTHER

If you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
The sun makes the plants,
Animals eat the plants,
The humans eat the animals,
and Earth needs the humans to take care of it.
So you see, as you stare
into the endless sky,
we live from our Mother Gaia's birth,
and if you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
And we all, plants, animals, humans,
are children of the Earth

We're never completely in one place.
 Some part of us hangs out
On streets we barely remember,
Or converses with faces no longer familiar.
Every encounter has a beginning,
But never an ending.
Like an exquisite ecosphere,
The mind turns each raindrop into forever,
Nor does it allow one word to disappear.
Some evening, years from now,
Our lives will be bitter or sweet.
But we'll be together my Friend.



... I wish you my sweet Friend
a peaceful weekend.
With Love
Ana

"A friend is someone
 who dances with you in the sunlight and,
 walks with you in the shadows.
 Is someone
 who stays there in silence and,
 hears what you say no mater the subject.
 Walks by your side and,
 behind you and catchs if you stumble.
 A FRIEND is a gift, a treasure to keep,to honour,
 whom we give a permanent place in our hearts."



... I love you sweet friend and,
 I wish you a wonderful weekend.

"The Beautiful Earth"

The glistening sun is shining
On the sparkling water,
The sparkling water is
connecting
To the pretty ocean,
The pretty ocean
is as beautiful
As a bachelor button flower,
The bachelor
button flower is
yellow and blue
Like the sunset sky,
The sunset sky is giving
peace to the Earth!

written by Olivia




... I wish you a great week sweet friend

Let Me Live
The darkness is closing in
Soon I will be gone
Why do I deserve this?
I've done nothing wrong.
I'm thrown in to a crate
I feel so cold and alone
I wonder what's next
The future is unknown.
Hundreds of others around me
Screaming for their parents
I know they will not come
They've been shot protecting us.
Everyday this happens
Innocent animals killed for money
Another day, another kill
It's not the one bit funny.
Do your self a favour
If not for you, for your future kids
Save us endangered animals
Please just let us live!

is still in our power. Earth is our home

so let us thank Her giving a chance to cure

the wounds we made."
