The Blushing Farewell
I walked alone in the depths of Autumn woods;
The ruthless winds had left the maple bare;
The fern was withered, and the sweetbrier's breath
No longer gave its fragrance to the air.

Peanut Thief
Whatever we are waiting for – peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

Be Grateful
Be grateful for the kindly friends
that walk along your way;
Be grateful for the skies of blue
that smile from day to day;
Be grateful for the health you own,
the work you find to do,
For round about you there are men less fortunate than you.
Be grateful for the growing trees,
the roses soon to bloom,
The tenderness of kindly hearts
that shared your days of gloom;
Be grateful for the morning dew,
the grass beneath your feet,
The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet.
Acquire the grateful habit,
learn to see how blest you are,
How much there is to gladden life,
how little life to mar!
And what if rain shall fall today
and you with grief are sad;
Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.
White-crowned Sparrow on a Branch
“Kindness can transform
someone's dark moment with a blaze of light.
You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today.”

Dancing Under The Moon
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

Sit Still And Watch Them
Frosty maple leaves on an autumn morning.
Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn.

The Heart of Autumn
"Come said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o're the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold."

It used to be that we would
see Mail Pouch Barns
advertising chewing tobacco or
"spit tobacco" - Now we
see these barns cropping up
that say "Save Face" -
and on the other side it says "stop spit tobacco."

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Frosty Leaves
“I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep.... Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long....
