And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

- Raymond Carver, Late Fragment

You have taken root in the Beloved.
I love your golden branches
And the hundred graceful movements
Your body now makes each time
The wind, children and love come near.

 - Hafiz, Build a House for Men & Birds

To find joy in the sky, the trees, the flowers.
There are always flowers
for those who want to see them.

- Henri Matisse

Rest with your dream in my dream...

- Pablo Neruda, Sonnet LXXXI

Evening Star (No. III), Georgia O'Keeffe
