Beauty by Another Name

" A friendship can 

weather most things 

and thrive in thin soil; 

but it needs a little 

mulch of letters 

and phone calls and 

small, silly presents 

every so often - 

just to save it from 

drying out completely. 

                           Pam Brown

"Peace is not 

something you wish for, 

it is something you make, 

something you are, 

something you do, and 

something you give away." 

Robert Fulghum

[His books are still cutting edge!]

" We inherit from our ancestors

 gifts so often taken for granted... 

Each of us contains within... 

this inheritance of soul. 

We are links between 

the ages, containing past

 and present expectations, 

sacred memories 

and future promise. "

Fame: A gull floating on water.”

strong and wild, fond 

of the storm and

out to sea, and 

happy all alone. "

weather's not about you. 

Apply that lesson

aspects of life. "

 " Sunshine is delicious,

rain is refreshing,

 wind braces us up, 

snow is exhilarating; 

there is really no such thing 

as bad weather, only 

different kinds 

of good weather. "

                    John Ruskin

" Nature is so powerful, 

so strong. Capturing 

its essence is not easy - 

your work becomes a 

dance with light 

and the weather. 

It takes you to a

place within yourself. "

" Wherever you go, 

no matter what the weather, 

always bring your own 

sunshine. "

No. I'm not picking up a gun.

But what is the opposite

of harming strangers?

Love your neighbor.

We don't even hear

it's meaning anymore.

Our mind skips over

these words we have

heard before.

But when they crack open

one spies a wonder world

within. Through the peep-

hole of this candied egg

we see not mere possibilities,

but a truer sense of Real.

If you care for yourself

you can care for us all.

But that is the problem;

We do not care for ourselves.

We have been trained

to be unobtrusive and useful

by this world we enjoy.

Care for self

strikes a chord of guilt

doesn't it?

Love your neighbor

as yourself.

If one is ready to die

for an angry idea,

one is ready to kill

strangers over it.

If we live for love.

Courteous to self

and 0ther,

we are spreading

the antidote to

everything we hate.

Say hi to an Angry White Guy,

or a Muslim woman;

A Palestinian and a Jew.

Say 'Merry Christmas'

to a Christian.

Life is good.

A Gift.

Live that,

the power of that.

No telling where

it can take this world.

Thanks for visiting!

Wishing YOU all good things,
