“The world...is full of resurrections... Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it - the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into … Continue reading Sunrise

The Only Way
The means for getting anywhere is: one step at a time one foot in front of the other three steps forward, one step back line upon line stitch by stitch stroke after stroke note by note There is no other way. There are no shortcuts. I'm still listening. "Your place in heaven will seem to … Continue reading The Only Way
Rhubarb

As I look down the corridor of 2015, I'm delighted that I don't have surgery awaiting … Continue reading Delight :: 2015
2015 :: Delight!
Happy New Year to All! The third and final thing I'm keeping in the forefront of my mind for this new year is perhaps the main bit underlying and undergirding the previous two. **How will I determine what to major in, focus on, emphasize?
