"None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm."
~Henry David Thoreau

Desert Garden
All welcome

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Desert Garden, all welcome

A smile is a whisper of a laugh

Hello from Gizmo, desert garden, all welcome

“It's vital to remember who you really are. It's very important. It isn't a good idea to rely on other people or things to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.”

― Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

Where Lagan streams sing lullabies
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a lovesick lenashee
She hath my heart in thrall
No life have I, no liberty
For love is Lord of all
And often when the beetles horn
Has lulled the eve to sleep
I'll steal into her sheiling lorn
And through the doorway creep
There on the cricket's singing stone
She makes the bogwood fire
And comes and sing sweet undertone
The song of heart's desire

I've topped up plates. Won't be back until Saturday. Chat to you all then.

PLEASE LEAVE ON TOP. POST ON BACK WALL. I'LL RETURN THE SPLASHES WHEN I GET BACK

Anthony Bourdain said: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."

Desert Critters, all welcome.

When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.

John O'Donoghue
