As Good As

"A man is only as good as what he loves."
 ~ Saul Bellow

Exploration

"We shall not cease from exploration.
And at the end of our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and to know the place for the first time."
 ~T.S. Eliot

The rising sunlight on my face is perfect peace... & I am now experimenting with creating videos with music...

Renewal

I love you, Uncle Joe...

"Nature often holds up a mirror 

so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes 

of growth, renewal, and transformation in our lives."

 ~ Mary Ann Brussat

Let's See

"I was always willing to say,

 'Let's see what happens,' 

when something came up that looked like

 it might help me get a little closer 

to where I wanted to be." 

~ Count Basie

Live

"The aim of life is to live, 

and to live means to be aware, 

joyously, drunkenly,serenely,

 divinely aware."

 ~ Henry Miller

Clarity

"In the clarity of a quiet mind, 

there is room for all that is actually happening

 and whatever else might also be possible."

~ Baba Ram Dass

Fog and color and magic this morning on the ridge... and off...

Shakes

"Stand before the people you fear 

and speak your mind - 

even if your voice shakes. 

When you least expect it, 

someone may actually listen 

to what you have to say." 

~ Maggie Kuhn

Yes, that is my sun,
reflected in my black shoes

Look at the sky! (Photo) Rock-a-doodle-doo. Today's sunrise features music shuffling in my ears. Happy birthday to my son, Nathan, who claimed my heart 14 years ago.

Cross

"And I'm just out here searchin

For my own piece of the cross."

~Bruce Springsteen
