and my heart smile through my eyes,
that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”

“The happiness of the bee
and the dolphin is to exist.
For man it is to know that
and to wonder at it.”
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Look… Don’t Touch
“She was illusive. She was today.
She was tomorrow.
She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower,
the flitting shadow of an elf owl.
We did not know what to make of her.
In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard
like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through
and away she flew.”
Jerry Spinelli about ‘Stargirl’
Miracle Grow
“Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don’t even recognize…
a blue sky…white clouds…green leaves.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Loving Assortment
“If you may count every drop of water in the ocean
and count every grain of sand in the sea –
multiply it by a thousand and that’s how much I love you.”
George of Langkloof
Dance With Me
“Live your dreams and you nurture your spirit,
nurture your spirit and you dance your bliss,
dance your bliss and the world becomes a
celebration of authentic loving harmony.”
Micheal Teal
Washin Over Stone
“Don’t take anything personally.
Nothing others do is because of you.
What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality,
their own dream.
When you are immune to the opinions
and actions of others,
you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
Gotcha?
The look in this meerkat’s eyes always piques my curiosity… is it surprise, fear, indignation, curiosity, or playfulness?
I never know, I just figure it’s always best to…
“Be curious, not judgmental.”
Walt Whitman
By the Soul’s Light
“There is one spectacle grander than the sea,
that is the sky;
there is one spectacle grander than the sky,
that is the interior of the soul.”
Victor Hugo
Impressive
“Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and
winds, stars and flowers,
stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes –
every form of animate or inanimate existence,
leaves its impress upon the soul of man.”
