Thus Or Thus

"‘Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. 

Our bodies are our gardens 

to which our wills are gardeners."

~ William Shakespeare

A new early morning ritual: I've begun weeding a small section of moss under a large maple tree. The air is cool. The birds sing sweetly. I am lost in the practice. 

This Above All

“This above all: to thine own self be true, 

And it must follow, as the night the day, 

Thou canst not then be false to any man.” 

~ William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Fearing To Attempt

"Our doubts are traitors and make us 

lose the good we might win, by fearing to attempt."

~ William Shakespeare

Drowsy With Harmony

"When Love speaks, 

the voice of all the gods 

makes heaven drowsy with the harmony."

~ William Shakespeare

A Good Heart

"A good heart's worth gold."

~ William Shakespeare

My home in Asheville is on the top of a mountain ridge. Every morning a glorious sunrise crests with light and love. I believe that the sun feeds our creativity and helps me in my practice of living with aloha. With my art, I share my heart with each of you…

Heart

Knock there,

and ask your heart

what it doth know."

 as you are,
understands where you have been,
 accepts what you have become,
and still, gently allows you to grow."

~ William Shakespeare

Ask your Heart

To Thine Own Self

"This above all to thine own self be true."
~ William Shakespeare

Look left, right, straight on. Beauty. Everywhere. On this most perfect of days, Today...Sun's daily gift. Right now: breathe in the chance to create something new. Heal. Forgive. Begin. Renew...

Waiting for sun to crest. There's a golden light beam, shooting from the ridge to the sky. Wonderful visual metaphor.

...Ho hum. Just another spectacular sunrise...

Compact of Fire

"Love is a spirit all compact of fire."
~ William Shakespeare

Sky is ablaze with color. Clouds on fire. One of those mornings where my camera isn't going to do this justice.

Compact of Fire

"Love is a spirit all compact of fire. "

Quiet Conscience

"A peace above all earthly dignities,
a still and quiet conscience."
~ William Shakespeare
