"Candide"
"Candide"

Candide’s love for Cunégonde leads to his exile. What ensues is a journey around the world. Expect severe hardships, enlightening experiences, and a “happy” ending…
Voltaire’s Candide is a delightfully sarcastic story that takes a scathing, insightful, and timeless look at the human condition.
In the garden:neglecting optimismover cultivation.

Daguerreotype of Emily Dickinson, c. early 1847 – Source: Wikimedia Commons
Emily Dickinson’s poems transcend time and understanding. Their profound beauty lies in the meanings left between the lines—and hyphens.
Dare to see—Beauty within SelfThrough the Summer Sky.
A bumblebee:Somewhere from the SoulLove speaks of Spring.
Perhaps,If thoughts were like a bird—Paradise would wait.

Oneness
Diaphanous connections—Instant gratification—Silhouettes of perfection—That is what we do,Raconteurs of politically correct axioms.And then, as wrinkles settle around our eyes,Cantankerous messages suddenly fadeTo make room for the eloquence of experienceImbued with kindness towards the self.Oneness cannot happen without theNervy years of youth.
