Reflecting

(reflection in creek on Huckleberry Trail)

No vision and you perish;
No ideal, and you're lost;
Your heart must ever cherish
Some faith at any cost.
Some hope, some dream to cling to,
Some rainbow in the sky,
Some melody to sing to,
Some service that is high.
~Harriet Du Autermont

Upside Down

Look at everything upside down.Take absolutely nothing for granted.

~ Dick Francis

and the land we inhabit
are not only critical elements 
in the quality of life we enjoy -
they are a reflection 
of the majesty of our Creator.
