Early Morning Reflections

A   L   O   H   A !
Absolutely Beautiful Morning for a Walk to the Mall

" By health I mean 
the power to live 
a full, adult, living,
 breathing life
 in close contact 
with... the earth 
and the wonders
 thereof - the sea -
 the sun. "
                         Katherine Mansfield










“Given enough time, 
you could convince yourself 
that loneliness was 
something better, 
that it was solitude, 
the ideal condition 
for reflection, 
even a kind of freedom. -





 

 - Once you were 
thus convinced, 
you were foolish to 
open the door 
and let anyone in, 
not all the way in. 
You risked the 
hard-won equilibrium, 
that tranquility 
that you called peace. ” 
                                         Dean Koontz





" The willingness
 to accept responsibility
 for one's own life
 is the source
 from which 
self-respect springs. "
                                   Joan Didion








" Anyone 
who does not believe 
in miracles 
is not a realist. "
                                  Audrey Hepburn
