I don't know, but this moment in Howard's End has always stuck with me):<br /><br />"The present flowed by them like a stream. The tree rustled. It had made music before they were born, and would continue after their deaths, but its song was of the moment. The moment had passed. The tree rustled again. Their senses were sharpened, and they seemed to apprehend life. Life passed. The tree nestled again."<br /><br />Love to you both!Candy Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-44295156565201014462010-05-21T07:59:39.920-04:002010-05-21T07:59:39.920-04:00By way of a counterpart to Cather, I offer up my f...By way of a counterpart to Cather, I offer up my favorite - and most useful - Navajo consolation: the Blessing Way prayer:<br /><br />In beauty may I walk.<br />All day long may I walk.<br />Through the returning seasons may I walk.<br />On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.<br />With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk.<br />With dew about my feet may I walk.<br />With beauty may I walk.<br />With beauty before me, may I walk.<br />With beauty behind me, may I walk.<br />With beauty above me, may I walk.<br />With beauty below me, may I walk.<br />With beauty all around me, may I walk.<br />In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.<br />In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.<br />It is finished in beauty.<br />It is finished in beauty.<br /><br />Safe travels.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944835420352128990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-58864259457119921132010-05-21T07:05:51.039-04:002010-05-21T07:05:51.039-04:00May we all be dissolved in something complete and ...May we all be dissolved in something complete and great.
