I think that I shall never see.....

Joyce's Kilmer poem is a childhood favorite of mine. ............One of many.
Childhood.
When everything is simple.
And free.
And uncomplicated.

A recent visit to the magnificent Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona,made me recall the simple joys of childhood. I am in awe of Gaudi's love of nature,how he watched, listened, and incorporated his love and appreciation of nature unto his work. He has made a difference.

sagrada

Every day, God gives us, as well as the sun,
a moment when it is possible to change anything
that is causing us unhappiness.
The magic moment is the moment when
a ' yes' or 'no' can change our whole existence.
Every day, we try to pretend that we do not see
that moment, that it does not exist,
that today is the same as yesterday
and that tomorrow will be the same too.
However, anyone who pays close attention to
his day will discover the magic moment.
It might be hidden in the instant
that we put the keys in the door in the morning,
in the moment of silence after supper,
in the thousand and one things
that appear to us to be the same.
This moment exists, a moment in which
all the strength of the stars flows through us
and allows us to perform miracles.
