Each of us owes the deepest thanks
to those who have rekindled this inner light."

Sit Down & Listen

"Courage is what it takes
to stand up and speak;
courage is also what it takes
to sit down and listen."
~ Winston Churchill


Still waiting for the sun, cresting later. ...Walking around back field with my dogs, Clapton & Kolohe. The sun is strong gold! ...Even the rocks & weeds glow golden! ...Sit down & listen: Me, my camera, iPad, & the sun...

Minute Longer

"When you get into a tight place
and everything goes against you
until it seems that you cannot
hold on for a minute longer,
never give up then,
for that is just the place and time
that the tide will turn."
~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
