The Moon Is There

 

"I like to think that the moon is there
 even if I am not looking at it."

Albert Einstein

This morning, mesmerized,  I watched through the bare oak trees the moon set over downtown Birmingham as I welcomed the new day. We are Waxing Gibbous at 90%. The full moon is on Friday.

Letter, March 24, 1954

Snowflakes, gentle. Sun, strong. Cold air, warm hearts... Watching the sunrise reminds me. Every morning is rebirth. We can create good things w/ our gifts.

26° in Asheville this morning. The wind whips outside. Howling through dancing trees. In my haste to run outside, I forgot my shoes.

Leap

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you, and you don't know how or why.”
~ Albert Einstein

Someone... an angel perhaps... scrawled swirls of orange doodles on this morning's hazy gray sky... Maybe it's the jet trails of her angel wings?

#2 ❤ Curiosity Survives

"It is a miracle that curiosity
survives formal education."
~ Albert Einstein

6:46 Golden light against that yummy pale orange sherbet sky. Makes me curious as to what is coming (You know it's going to be something good.)

Merely Inquisitive

"I have no particular talent.
I am merely inquisitive."
~ Albert Einstein

Outside Himself

"A person starts to live
when he can live outside himself."
~ Albert Einstein

Today is my baby brother's birthday... and Albert Einstein's birthday... Perched on this lanai, I'm on top of the world...Every sunrise glows promise, that no matter what, today will be better...

Barefoot, humming, reaching upward, outward, together with sky, clouds, light...Celebrate! Celebrate! Rattle dem bones. Smile and let the sun kiss your face.

Our spirit is stronger than steel...Light, like an angel, tickles the dark places. Erases pain...Why not believe that today will be the best day ever?

Curiosity Survives

"It is a miracle that curiosity
survives formal education."
~ Albert Einstein

In Hawaii, 

we call a nosy person, 

niele - (nee-eh-leh)

That has always been me.

Niele

Or so my family says.

And while I may

have a big nose,

I think

I am more curious

than nosy.

And curiosity survives.

Roll Dice

"God does not roll dice."
~ Albert Einstein

Setting an Example

 
"Setting an example
is not the main means of influencing another,
it is the only means."
~ Albert Einstein

This moment, this sun-filled thought:

The power inside of me to make a difference

just by being as strong and loving as I can be.
