  • Observation

    You can observe a lot just by looking. Yogi Berra The Reading Garden is one of my favorite parks. There are quotes everywhere. Carved into the walls and walks, installed on signs. Marble book spines are engraved with the titles and authors of books in remembrance of friends and family. It’s a perfect place to…

  • Variety

    Variety is the spice of life, that gives it all it’s flavor. William Cowper You may be getting whiplash reading this if you read last week’s post. One week it’s school shootings and the next it’s planters filled with flowers. As I wrote when I began this blog, I plan to cover a variety of…

  • Desperation

    I am only one, but I am one. I can’t do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. Edward Everett Hale Tuesday morning the sun shone brightly as nineteen, sweet, little children rushed to finish their breakfast and…

  • Retrospection

    The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected. Robert Frost I was in my late twenties when this painting was done. Looking back, what I didn’t know could fill volumes. I can’t decide if not knowing what the future holds is a good or a bad thing. I’m sure in some instances I would have…

I have spent too many hours, hours that I will never get back, worrying about things that didn’t matter or never happened. As the…

  • Taking Stock

    The universe might be the director, but you are the editor. Unknown This print of a raven hangs by our front door. The artist is my friend Sharon Guenther, Rosehip Design Studio. Ravins have complex symbolism. They are thought to represent prophecy and insight and are highly intelligent. When I look at the image it…

  • Determination

    There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. Beverly Sills There are 268 steps to reach the peak of the mountain, where the bronze statue of Buddha sits atop a lotus flower, and no elevator in sight. My son had climbed it once before and said it would take about twenty minutes if we…

  • Miracles

    Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on ever hand: life itself is a miracle. George Bernard Shaw I was told there were wild horses on Vieques Island. I hadn’t seen any. I was on Vieques for a meeting. We flew into San Juan and transferred to small, 6 seater planes…

  • Promise of Spring

    I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older. Virginia Woolf I was thinking about spring when I came across this Virginia Woolf quote. Autumn has always been my favorite season, yet I find I am drawn to spring, more and more, as the years pass. Maybe,…
