Atonement
* Her name dripped from his lips, as if it were of his last breath. Shaking as each letter slipped, off his tongue, reaching for her ears, to rest. All he was, she owned it, held like a tissue in her hands. Everything he’d ever felt, circled round, at her command. A brush of hand was all that lingered, a memory of a kiss, that once, they shared. With his hands, her hair, he lightly fingered, the urge to hold her, more than he could bear.

The Notebook
She stood there in the doorway Shadows laced the gown she wore The light shimmered down her face Her green eyes twinkled in the glow A candle flickered on the table There were flowers in a vase The rain trickled on the gable The curtains swayed, a gentle pace A book lay open to an entry She was never meant to read She hid away inside the pantry To get to see what she might see Just what he had been revealing In the journal that he kept When she understood the meaning For days, she only wept Wishing she could go back Would she undo all she had done? Or would she stand there in the doorway With her nightgown left undone?

Mother Nature
There is no definitive answer to whether Mother Nature is a god, as different beliefs and perspectives may have different views on this question. However, some possible ways to approach this question are: *Mother Nature is a healing goddess and a global consciousness that encompasses all life on this planet, as proposed by the Gaia hypothesis. *Mother Nature is not a god, but a part of God's creation that humans have a responsibility to steward and dominate, as suggested by some Christian views. *The word "nature" comes from the Latin word, "natura", meaning birth or character. In English, its first recorded use (in the sense of the entirety of the phenomena of the world) was in 1266. "Natura" and the personification of Mother Nature were widely popular in the Middle Ages. As a concept, seated between the properly divine and the human. Here is my take on the relationship between the two, as a couple. (human).... seems about right.

The Sandman
In Scandinavian folklore, he is said to sprinkle sand or dust on or into the eyes of children at night to bring on sleep and dreams. The grit or "sleep" (rheum) in one's eyes upon waking is the supposed result of the Sandman's work the previous night.
