you were blooming.

Never despise a seed;

one day it will rise

and bloom into a forest.

Hope blooms when

the time is ready.

lies in the power of

extracting happiness

from common things.

Change your routines, 

change your life. 

Choose your routines, 

choose your life. 

Be alert for subtle 

intimations to do 

something 

differently.

Asystasia gangetica commonly known as the
Chinese violet, coromandel or creeping foxglove.

Circumstances 

prove nothing. 

That's why you can't convict 

with circumstantial evidence.

YOU

 prove your circumstances.

The giant African land snail Lissachatina fulica. 

Introduced to Hawaii in 1936

The intriguing placidity 

from the slothful pace 

of a snail is 

truly very peaceful. 

Our world is in need of 

this calmness to pacify itself.

Being able to do whatever we want to do is the most precious natural gift that we possess, but doing only what we ought to do is the only adequate expression of our gratitude for it.

I never do anything 

I don't want to do. 

Nor does anyone, but 

in my case I am 

always aware of it.

May love and peace

spread and heal.

May it start with a

quiet joy you

allow yourself to feel.

There is a world of difference 

between acknowledging aging 

and surrendering to  it.

The weather has

been magnificent,

more Spring than

WINTER.

I'm writing these words

by an open window.

Voices of Nature

hum pleasantly.

All these shots

were taken here

in Marin County

these past several

days.

I'm unwinding.

Hope you are as well,

Friend!
