we live in a world full of stories
weeping for expression
longing for release.

and I'm savouring the taste
of my first cup of coffee.
Oh look! !
gods little night lights
twinkling
in a bare black beautiful sky,
it makes me want to cry,
I feel a deep devotion to the present moment,
to the innocent beauty of things,
this world is my Cathedral-
I do not need shrines,
there is nothing in this world that is...
Hi, Nora,
Remember us, Jean and Bill, Lynn, massachusetts
Norah Tunney is a remarkable voice. Just read those intelligent, sensitive, and beautiful quotations she has posted...such as.''The awareness of death- gives life.'' and ''Nature quietens the mind and nourishes the heart.''. Those words give you a key into the heart and spirit of her soul and her writings. I recommend her poetry... I know I have enjoyed reading her. She has not been her for a couple of months and I miss her voice.
