Fireflies in the Garden

By Robert Frost

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

I hope all is going well at your gorgeous place. You live in a paradise. Thanks for the photos--loved the first one!
in the center, which valid physicists say
is everywhere and nowhere,
and metaphysicians (all 5 of them,ha)
say infinity/eternity demands a center
that also is everywhere, except theirs is fully HERENOW,


no rules apply for they are in the
present event
of being assimilated from the dead but
memory-ressurrected past

and sent on a forward thrust by the future
rushing at us in eternal blank pregnant voidlike glory

(these rules, i mean)

which not unlike the ballyhooed laws of NAURE
are but habits.

so are we.

i am a habit of the flux.

some of em stick around longer than others.

yet all are valid. newton's were applicable to human
dimensions of sight and sound,

einsteins too , but negligible at our speed ...

rod serling's always,ha
NAURE? NO, nature.

which as you prove is not only impossibly complex
but pretty too.
Thank you both, Doc and James for coming by, and especially James, for your wonderful expression of poetic licence and metaphysical truth.

I am a metaphysician, so you can count me as one of the 5 (chuckle).

The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere. -Empedocles

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. -Wm. Blake

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me. -Meister Eckhart
I think you're right, it is the center of the universe. A most beautiful place Susanne, thank you for sharing the beauty.
Thank you bbd. It's wonderful to share what we love, isn't it!
Good to see you Susanne, and your place. Hope all is going well. Your pictures are beautiful.
Thanks Marlene. Summers are kind of crazy for me.
Your place is so homey, lovely almost like a fairy tale. Only real, so much better. Thank you for sharing it with us, enjoy these last days of August.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home & garden...I love the Center of the Universe art work...and your quotes above. A good way to start the week. :)
What a lovely place to spend the summer and I can imagine it is just so the rest of the seasons, too. Funny, I thought the center of the universe was here where I am.
So lovely and full of light and color. I do miss the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for these photos.
Thank you all so much for coming by. Love sharing my home and I'm happy to have had the chance.
Beautiful, beautiful...
