A single phrase has the power to encourage, lift and inspire - or to discourage, dampen and block.











 "Cottage in an aromatic meadow,

Summer's languid haze hanging,
The old windmill's sundial stilled,
Chirping birds and insect drones.

Flowing brooks at a funereal pace,
A bloated lull duels exiguous energy,
Thick air's blanketing somnolence,
Liquid refreshment soothes inertia.

Salmon sundown slithers to a siesta,
In a clear purple sky nodding assent,
The intense day imperceptibly eased,
As the night's humid embrace begins."
