Let There Be Peace On Earth

 ...and let it begin with me!

Dreams

Don't let your dreams go up in smoke -
practice fire safety.

See

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.
Most persons do not see the sun.
At least they have a very superficial seeing.
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man,
but shines into the eye and heart of the child.
The lover of nature is he whose
inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other;
who has retained the spirit of infancy
even into the era of manhood.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Arrested Motion

 

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.  

~William Faulkner~

Love and Respect

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong,
we may begin to use it with
love and respect.
~Aldo Leopold~

A Wonderful Day

Life doesn't get any better than family, friends, and good food!

I am Thankful

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
~Melody Beattie~
