I don't love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
Pablo Neruda, One Hundred Love Sonnets

Come slowly‐Eden
Lips unused to Thee‐
Bashful‐sip thy Jessamines
As the fainting Bee‐
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums‐
Counts his nectars‐
Enters‐and is lost in Balms.
Emily Dickinson, Come Slowly‐ Eden

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never‐ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

You Are The Best Of Me, John Lunn, The Chamber Orchestra Of London

Love Story, LoLa &HAUSER

John, if Kathy (our flower specialist) says she's actually mesmerized by your post, then this is saying something.
I agree with her for more than 100%, so S+F too.
Excellent work again, 👍 !

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

I'm seeing this as a stained glass design. Very lovely.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
