In the Foggy Morning

Sometimes we need the fog to remind ourselves that all of life is not black and white.

A Book

As a global community, it is imperative that we act quickly and together to confront this crisis. And this will require innovation and collaboration around the world.  It will require the use of renewable energy and new technologies. And it will give each of our nations the opportunity to build healthier communities and stronger economies

Kamala Harris, US Vice President

Your Worth is Not What You Wear

Your worth is not what you wear, but what you do.

Gracefully Falling

But we have to learn to be free.

Doesn’t mean happy all the time, or okay all the time.

It’s okay not to be okay. I told you that, but I’m relearning it myself.

But not being okay doesn’t mean you stop living.

Jasinda Wilder

Fly Away

We were young, we were wild, we were restless

Had to go, had to fly, had to get away

Took a chance on that feelin’

We were lovin’ blind borderline wreckless

We were livin’ for the minute we were spinnin’ in

Baby we were a lot of things, but we weren’t crazy

Josh Gracin

His Selfless Love

Bloom

Butterfly

Let go of the past

Trust the future

Embrace change

Come out of the cocoon

Unfurl your wings

Dare to get off the ground

Ride the breezes

Savor the flowers

Put on your brightest colors

Let your beauty show.

Dreamy Pines – A Painting

Study the teachings of the pine tree, the bamboo, and the plum blossom. The pine is evergreen, firmly rooted, and venerable. The bamboo is strong, resilient, unbreakable. The plum blossom is hardy, fragrant, and elegant.”
