The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning. Ivy Baker Priest, American politician and treasurer (1905-1975).

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get . . . but it's bound to be interesting! Monday, June 22, 2015. A Geometrically Perfect Afternoon. Nature is impersonal, awe-inspiring, elegant, eternal. It's geometrically perfect. It's tiny and gigantic. You can travel far to be in a beautiful natural setting, or you can observe it in your backyard - or, in my case, in the trees lining New York City sidewalks, or in the clouds above skyscrapers. Monday, June 8, 2015. And so I cong...

I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again:. Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness;. Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get . . . but it's bound to be interesting! Sunday, July 19, 2015. Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse. Winston Churchill, British author and politician (1874-1965). I haven't been to the village since I was a child and so I was seeing it with new, old eyes.
