"Look at the sky. 

We are not alone. -













-The whole universe 

is friendly to us and -












- conspires only to give -










- the best to those 

who dream and work."
                            A. P. J. Abdul Kalam













"For age is opportunity no less 
Than youth itself, though in another dress, 
And as the evening twilight fades away 
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day. "
                          Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tuesday Thoreau

"Removing toxic people 
from your life
 is like breathing 
fresh air while
 walking alongside 
of the ocean." 
                              Marala Scott












"To affect the 
quality of the day, 
that is the 
highest of arts." 
                                    Henry David Thoreau 







"A lake is a landscape's 
most beautiful and 
expressive feature.
It is Earth's eye; 
looking into which
 the beholder measures the 
depth of his own nature."
              Henry David Thoreau

What an influence
Thoreau had on me
when very young!

My first philosopher.
Making my solitude
and love of nature
a font of virtues.

Then he taught me
to put my thoughts
into words,
to be a writer.

Did you have such
an influence yourself
at a young age?

"One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky"
                       George Gershwin &
                           Dubose Heyward,

"Do not anticipate trouble 
or worry about what 
may never happen. 
Keep in the sunlight."
                           Benjamin Franklin














“Bad things can happen, 
and often do--
but they only take up a
few pages of your story; 
and anyone can 
survive a few pages.”
