Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

. . . here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

an excerpt. e.e. cummings

Happy Birthday dear sister, happy birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Claude Monet

Camille Monet and Child in the Garden. I love the impressionistic work of Claude Monet and his French friends. The work of this one person is a gift to the world that will endure forever.
