Oaks Take Deeper Root

"Storms make oaks take deeper root.
Kites rise highest against the wind-- not with it."

Winston Churchill

Dusk. After the storm, there is an eerie calm following an afternoon of tornado sirens, lightning, and rain. The storm was terrifying, because of the chaos, the sirens, and the rage of Nature.

Now, like an epiphany, the Alabama clouds move quickly, left to right-- heavy gray is replaced by swirling colors and ebbing light. All is quiet and then behold, a new possibility--the birds are singing again in the tangled branches of the oak trees.

Courage Is

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; 

courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."

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...

Inaction

"I never worry about action,
only inaction."
~ Winston Churchill
