the universe…not yet born
My journal consists of thoughts on various things centered around spirit. And some moments of raw fun or quiet introspection. (pittershawn's realm).

"To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await events, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony."- William Henry Channing

BLACK MOON
Black moon currant sky
On a canvas of blue and gray
Indigo rain charcoal clouds
Horizons of wine and gold
Black moon ebony spirit
On a soul that's blue and gray
Beautiful colors streaming down
Over a night as wondrous as day

"...Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!'"
