“In our judgment of human transactions,
the law of optics is reversed;
we see the most indistinctly the objects
which are close around us.”

“Today is my day to dance lightly with life,
sing wild songs of adventure,
invite rainbows & butterflies out to play,
soar my spirit, and unfurl my joy.”

“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy,
in whatever situation I may be;
for I have also learned from experience that
the greater part of our happiness or misery
depends upon our dispositions,
and not upon our circumstances.”
Martha Washington
Peek-a-bee
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
Notice the bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest potential,
and fight for your dreams.”
Ashley Smith

“Don’t underestimate the value of
doing nothing, of just going along,
listening to all the things you can’t hear,
and not bothering.”

Peace & Love
“The soul walks not upon a line;
neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself,
like a lotus of countless petals.”
Kahlil Gibran
Bubbles & Clovers
“I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck—
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have hope, and you must have faith,
You must love and be strong – and so—
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.”
Four-Leaf Clover

sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”

Sign of Growth
“The growth of understanding
follows an ascending spiral
rather than a straight line.”
