growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day.”

In My Violet Eyes
“Deep violets, you liken to
The kindest eyes that look on you,
Without a thought disloyal.”
E. B. Browning
Fruitful Beginnings
“Thought is the blossom,
language the bud,
action the fruit behind it.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live Boldly!
“Just living is not enough,”
said the butterfly.
“One must have sunshine,
freedom and a little flower.”
Hans Christian Andersen
Floating By On Koi-Ness
“Beauty is a primeval phenomenon,
which itself never makes its appearance,
but the reflection of which is visible in
a thousand different utterances
of the creative mind,
and is as various as nature herself.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Late Bloom
“A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.”
Jean Paul Richter
So hard to believe this autumn bud was just captured a little over a month ago… it will always remind me of the transformative weekend in my hometown of Portland, OR, where I took another powerful step toward creating inner peace and being love.

Silent Symphony
“The sound of the water…
says what I think.”
Chuang Tzu
May The Rain Wash Away The Pain
“Life is thickly sown with thorns,
and I know no other remedy
than to pass quickly through them.
The longer we dwell on our misfortunes,
the greater is their power to harm us.”
Voltaire
Another World in Stone
“Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love.”
Ben Okri
Honey Just Bee
“LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain – grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn; the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
