do not weep.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am in the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in everything.

Do not stand at my grave & cry,
I am not there, I do not die.

~ Mary E. Frye, 1932

It's just one of the most beautiful poems I've ever heard.

Inspiration Monday.

I'm home I'm home I'm home!!!!!!!
I'm sooooooooooo happy, you can not imagine!!!!!!!!!
Although it's absolutely freezing outside, now I love to freeze, as long as I'm freezing in my lovely Lithuania, it's where my heart belongs and that's that:)

So today for Monday inspiration I want to share something really Lithuanian to celebrate my return. 

The first thing that comes into my mind is a poem by one of my favorite Lithuanian writers, Paulius Širvys.

Of course it's Lithuanian, but I will try to translate it for you, I'm not really good at translating, so I have to say sorry in advance, because it's not my job, but it's so beautiful that I can not resist to share with you:)
