                        Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop.  Usman B. Asif 

The Sense Of Wonder

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth

find reserves of strength that will endure as long 

as life lasts.     Rachel Carson 

For Shirlee

         If the only prayer you ever said in your whole life was 

       ‘Thank You’ 

                
it would be enough -  Meister Eckhart

The Chipmunk

The Chipmunk

My friends all know that I am shy,

But the chipmunk is twice and shy and I.

He moves with flickering indecision

Like stripes across the television.

He's like the shadow of a cloud,

Or Emily Dickinson read aloud. 

by Odgen Nash

Old Barns

you  just gotta love

a little old barn

touched by time

with it’s own charm..

the weatherd wood

shines bright in the sun..

Proud and still standing..

(it’s time isn’t done)………

Think  of the tales

that could be told

if barns could talk

of memories they hold..

each one is different

no two are the same..

to see them fading

away, is a shame.

so if you happen upon

a old one please take

a picture and treasure

the portrits they make..

for someday they will

be old memories…

this one was saying

“take my picture, please”!

Denali - The Great One

Rub your eyes. Turn around twice. Pinch yourself. 

It's really there before you. 

Such beauty is just hard to believe

Dewitt Jones

Patience

Adopt the pace of Nature,

her secret is patience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
