All that is and has been 

is but the twilight 

of the dawn.

Each time dawn appears, 

the mystery is there

in its entirety.

There is nothing so easy 

but that it becomes 

difficult when you 

do it reluctantly.

Let your life lightly dance

Every act is either 

an act of love or 

a cry for love.

When you are not sure, 

flip a coin because while 

the coin is in the air, you

realize which one 

you are actually hoping for.

Circumstances are the 

rulers of the weak; 

they are but the 

instruments of the wise.

             Samuel Lover

I love asking kids 

what they want to be 

when they grow up because 

I’m still looking for ideas.

"Rancho  Novato"

This Mural in Novato California shows the area well.

When nothing is sure, 

everything is possible.

         Margaret Drabble

All of these photos were taken in 

Marin County California when we

lived there recently for 4 years. 

Pixie had the chance to meet &

greet the wildlife, to walk along the fence, 

and to hear the coyotes call. 

I'm pretty sure she also was on friendly terms 

with the racoon family on the property. 

The ducks were her especial friends.

 I saw them beak to whisker many times. 

Pixie was trying to figure them

out. The ducks hoped she 

had some food for them no doubt.

The Way A Bird Sings

A   L   O   H   A  !

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles. Washington Irving

is a book that you have never read! 

You never know what you are missing!

it reveals not decline

There is no education like adversity.

I am the confidence in 
the midst of doubt. 
I am Her!

Three things in human life are important. 

The first is to be kind. 

The second is to be kind. And 

the third is to be kind.     

        Henry James

Some beautiful paths 

can't be discovered 

without getting lost.

 Erol Ozan

 Even if I hide myself in the deepest closet, 

in a cheetah overnight rolling bag,

you will seek me and find me 

my human companion.

I rely my on that.

Stars don’t beg the world for attention; 

their beauty forces us to look up.

            Matshona Dhliwayo
