In summer I am glad
We children are so small,
For we can see a thousand things
That men can't see at all.

They don't know much about the moss
And all the stones they pass;
They never lie and play among
The forests in the grass.

~ Laurence Alma-Tadema (1865 - 1940) "Playgrounds," English novelist and poet.

Our Mum Ready for Parade

Happy Mother's Day



















"And yet for all her professed secularism, my mother was in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I've ever known.  She had an unswerving instinct for kindness, charity, and love, and spent much of her life acting on that instinct, sometimes to her detriment.  Without the help of religious texts or outside authorities, she worked mightily to instill in me the values that many Americans learn in Sunday school:  honesty, empathy, discipline, delayed gratification, and hard work.  She raged at poverty and injustice, and scorned those who were indifferent to both.


"Most of all, she possessed an abiding sense of wonder, a reverence for life and its precious, transitory nature that could properly be described as devotional.  During the course of the day, she might come across a painting, read a line of poetry, or hear a piece of music, and I would see tears well up in her eyes.  Sometimes, as I was growing up, she would wake me up in the middle of the night to have me gaze at a particularly spectacular moon, or she would have me close my eyes as we walked together at twilight to listen to the rustle of leaves...She saw mysteries everywhere and took joy in the sheer strangeness of life."
