Yes Spring Hope

A   L   O   H   A  !

You can cut all the flowers but 

you cannot keep Spring from coming.

        Pablo Neruda

“Is the spring coming?" he said. 

"What is it like?"...

"It is the sun shining on the rain and 

the rain falling on the sunshine...”

            Frances Hodgson Burnett 

  The Secret Garden

Nice Place For A Beer

What a strange thing!

to be alive

beneath cherry blossoms.

           Kobayashi Issa

If we had no winter, 

the spring would not be so pleasant: 

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, 

prosperity would not be so welcome.

Let There Be

"Star lost

in the light of dawn,

trill of the breeze,

warmth, breath—

the night is done.

You are light 

and morning.”

Painting is an object with a

Healthy habits do not 

produce HEALTH. 

      That is a gift. What we do is create 

the space and conditions for 

Health & Well Being to 

precipitate, accumulate, 

and to grow.
