Dark-eyed Junco - Peaceful Harmony

Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it.

Do whatever you do intensely.

Birds with Long Tongues

Hummingbird sticking it's tongue out.

Red-bellied Woodpecker - stretching his tongue to reach the peanut butter.

I think most woodpeckers have long tongues like this.

I think it's pretty cool!!

I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.

~ Michael Schenker

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
