Hope is not about 

proving anything. 

It’s about choosing to 

believe this one thing, 

that love is bigger than 

any grim, bleak shit 

anyone can throw at us.

Anne Lamott

Sunprint Morning glance

Hibiscus petals, Sunlight draws a

Gentle silhouette,

Shadow, tender

As a breath, Paints quiet wonder

Where gold light rests. What blooms between

the leaf and sun is peace—a small, bright

prayer begun.

Patience attracts 

happiness; it 

brings near that 

which is far.

      Swahili Proverb

 If everything around you 

seems dark, look again, 

you may be the light.

Shot in Marin, California. Like hot lava, the poppies defy photography and must be seen in real life. This is my poor interpretation of the flower. Imagine mobs of it blooming EVERYWHERE!

No poet has yet sung 

the full beauty of 

our (California) poppy. 

No painter has successfully 

portrayed the satiny sheen 

of its lustrous petals. 

In its abundance, this 

colorful plant should not 

be slighted: cherish it 

and be ever thankful 

that so rare a 

flower is common.
