Thought for the Day


[. . .]we now pass on, so that even at the end
of time, even in what looks like silence,
even in the quietest sense of disappearance,
even in the far distance of times beyond
our present understanding, we will be remembered
in the way others still live, and still live on, in our love.
~ David Whyte

My post at Tweetspeak Poetry on Tuesday will be on The Bell and the Blackbird. How's that for a coincidence?
