Allow yourself to become
enthralled once in a while.

of yourself that you
leave at every meeting 
with another person.

unite and lead, is
watchword of the wise.

  1. I love the walking iris. I think it is the "Cloudia flower." Pixie is enthralling, and that head in the last shot reminds me of Ozymandias. Its full statue has ended, but it now is beginning its new life as a bookend (maybe?).

  2. I've never heard of a walking iris. It's beautiful. Loved the photo of the man and boy and a great quote by Fred Rogers. A great rainbow, too.
