Ancient Conversations

A  L  O  H  A !
“A wild duck is not to be 
valued in terms of food along 
with chickens and pork chops. 
It means day breaking over the marshes 
and the whistle of fast wings 
in the gray light. 
Who can put a price on 
the sight of black ducks 
climbing over the willows. . .”
                David M. Newell








"Style is a natural extension 
of who you are as a person."

"Keep cool and you 
command everybody."
              Louis de Saint-Just 







“There is an ancient conversation going on
 between mosses and rocks, 
poetry to be sure. 
About light and shadow and 
the drift of continents. . . the 
"dialect of moss on stone - 
an interface of immensity and 
minute ness, of past and present, 
softness and hardness, stillness 
and vibrancy. . .”
           Robin Wall Kimmerer,
