Surprising

Of winter’s lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer’s secret
Deep down within its heart.
~Charles G. Stater

Whispering

Change 

 At times, challenges hit with the force of a roaring, rushing waterfall. The true test, however, is whether you can put your arms up and enjoy the feel of water. ~Aviva Kaufman

Passion

Man is so made that when anything fires his soul,

 impossibilities vanish.  ~Jean de la Fontaine

Joy

 Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. ~Leonardo da Vinci

Curiosity

 For what human ill does not dawn seem to be an alleviation?
