Unutterably

Two jets pass each other over the sun.

"The laws of color are unutterably beautiful,

 just because they are not accidental."

~ Vincent Van Gogh

Tranquility

"When we are unable 

to find tranquility within ourselves,

 it is useless to seek it elsewhere."

 ~ Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Illusions We Allow Ourselves

Watching the Sunrise With My Kolo

“Dogs, lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions.” 

~ Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening of the Year

amazing day

 I went away for awhile and came back to Fall colors...

 Waiting for the sun to rise above the clouds... Look at the sky!

"i thank You God for most this amazing 

day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; 

and for everything

which is natural 

which is infinite which is yes" 

~ e.e. cummings

Love

"The only solution is love."

~ Dorothy Day

Celebrating life, one sunrise at a time...

before starting to improve the world."

Magic

Cape Hatteras, North Carolina

"Life is magic,

the way Nature works

seems to be quite magical."
