My legacy

My legacy -
What will it be?
Flowers in spring,
The cuckoo in summer,
And the crimson maples
Of autumn ...

For as long as I can remember

"For as long as I can remember, people have liked to talk to me. You.......kind of how somebody says something to you...........it doesn't have to mean so much. It's just that it opens a door for you, and you can see into a room that you couldn't see into before. It doesn't really matter how you got there. The important part is...you're seeing something new and different."

~Allie Keys, Stephen Spielberg's "Taken"

Only those

"Only those who are willing to risk going too far will be able to find out how far one can go."

~T. S. Elliott

The powers of the soul

The powers of the soul are commensurate with its needs, all experience to the contrary notwithstanding.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don't worry

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia."

~Charles M. Schulz

She danced

"She danced the dance of Flames and Fire, She danced the dance of swords and spears, She danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind."

~from The Wanderer by Khalil Gibran

Truth can be found

"Truth can be found anywhere. We are part of the universe, as a Whole. But each of our viewpoints is that of a distinct, dynamic space-time coordinate. Imagination is the memory of that connection."

~Redshift

The soul

"The soul doesn't care at all what price we have to pay to follow our calls. Our happiness and security and status simply don't matter to it, although our courage, faith, and aliveness do."

~Gregg Levoy

Like buried treasures

"Like buried treasures, the outposts of the universe have beckoned to the adventurous from immemorial times..."

~George Ellery Hale
