"Forgiving the unrepentant is 
like drawing pictures on water."
                            Japanese  Proverb









"Nothing is so wretched or 
foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. 
What madness is it to be expecting
 evil before it comes." 
                              Seneca the Elder

over the kind of thoughts 
we wish to dominate 
our lives."

Goose Omen Fence

A  L  O  H  A !

Click on the Geese. They LIKE it!
The geese 
have always been
my especial friends.
They flew over my childhood house 
when I was little, honking. 
Even then I always 
regarded it as a good sign.
My first Omen.








They have shown up
reliably to point the 
way, to reassure me
throughout life. 












Now they are here too,
sharing this wetland, No longer 
distant and passing in an instant,
but landing and eating and living
close by. I can hear them 
approaching low overhead talking, 
disputing, advising one another:
"You were admiral LAST time!"









But they are telling me:
"We are home, and so are you."
[Honk]
They've never lied to me before!

“- a large granite mountain 
cannot be denied –
 it speaks in silence 
to the very core of 
your being” 
                     Ansel Adams












"Everyone seems to have 
a clear idea of how
 other people should 
lead their lives,
 but none about 
his or her own.” 
                         Paulo Coelho
















“Like all shopkeepers, 
they are deep-down optimists. 
They have to be, because 
every morning they unlock
 the doors to their stores, turn
on the lights, prepare for the day, 
and wait for people to 
walk in and hand them money.” 
                       Robert Spector, 
The Mom & Pop Store: True Stories
 from the Heart of America
