"The first 50 years 
of childhood
are the hardest."
                  Anonymous












"Just give me a home, 
in a great circle dome 
Where stresses and 
strains are at ease. "
                   R. Buckminster Fuller













“A truly great book should 
be read in youth, again 
in maturity and once 
more in old age, as a 
fine building should be 
seen by morning light, 
at noon and
 by moonlight.” 
                            Robertson Davies











Sherith Israel
Happy  Passover

"Unleavened Bread. . . the emblem of 
the Israelites’ suffering in Egypt 
and the symbol of the haste—
that is, the joyous eagerness—
which marked their departure. 
When we eat the 
Unleavened Bread on the Festival 
we, in a sense, eat the bread of 
sorrow with our toiling, suffering 
ancestors, and for the 
moment share the sorrow itself."
                                 Morris Joseph, 
                                         "Passover," Judaism as Creed and Life












“Some tourists think 
Amsterdam [and S.F.]
is a city of sin, 
but in truth it is a
city of freedom.” 
                      John Green














“I do not think, sir, 
you have any right to
 command me, merely
 because you are 
older than I."
                   Charlotte Brontë, 
                                    Jane Eyre

"The heron blames the water
 because he cannot swim."
                                      Danish Proverb














“When despair for the world 
grows in me, and I wake 
in the night at the least
 sound in fear of what my life
 and my children's lives may be --











" I go and lie down where 
the wood drake rests in 
his beauty on the water, and 
the great heron feeds. I come 
into the peace of wild things 
who do not tax their lives 
with forethought or grief. 
I come into the presence 
of still water. And I feel 
above me the day-blind stars 
waiting with their light. For 
a time I rest in 
the grace of the world, 
and am free.”
                          Wendell Berry

Let's Petaluma

"Petaluma is a transliteration of the 
Coast Miwok phrase péta lúuma 
which means hill backside[7][8] 
and probably refers to Petaluma's 
proximity to Sonoma Mountain.
Petaluma has a well-preserved, 
historic city center[9] which 
includes many buildings
that survived the 1906 
San Francisco earthquake."
                           Wikipedia















"We need solitude,
because when we're alone,
we're free from obligations, we 
don't need to put on a show,
and we can HEAR 
our own thoughts."
                            Tamin Ansary













A] "Art evokes the mystery 
without which the world 
would not exist."
                             Rene Magritte


 B] "When artists make art, 
they shouldn't question 
whether it is permissible to 
do one thing or another. "
                                       Sol LeWitt


C] "This world is but a canvas
 to our imagination. "
Henry David Thoreau
