Welcome to my blog. This is essentially a journal of words and photographs that, hopefully, will contribute to the conversations we have with ourselves and each other about the important things in life.

Happy 2017!

Provencal Farmhouse

"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."

Goethe

Tree Life

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Mark Twain

Angle of Repose

"Security is mostly superstition. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

Helen Keller

"The most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent, and isolated ego."

Alan Watts

TERRA NOVA

"To be avoided at all costs is the solace of opinion without the pain of thought."

William Sloan Coffin

"Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being."

Krishnamurti

FIRE AND ICE

"And everything comes to One,

As we dance on, dance on, dance on."

Theodore Roethke

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."

Goethe

TRUMPETVINE

"Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity & awareness, the more original and creative our time will become."

John O'Donohue

"It is only with the heart that one sees rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

CORFU

"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical."

Einstein

"Only the hand that erases can write the true thing."

Meister Eckhart

SUBTERRANEAN

"What gives life its value you can find -- and lose. But never possess."

Dag Hammarskjold

"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook."

William James

SKYLARK

"Understanding is not a piercing of the mystery, but an acceptance of it, a living blissfully with it, in it, through and by it."

Henry Miller

"God does not die when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason."

Dag Hammarskjold
