>As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. ~Henry David Thoreau I love the above quote. Sometimes–like now for example–I feel as if my life is becoming overly complicated; out of balance. Mostly, I feel I haveContinue reading “>Thoreau on Simplicity”

>Prayers for the People of Haiti

>The Mystery of the Fortune Cookie
>The other night I ordered Chinese food. I don’t necessarily enjoy the accompanying fortune cookies, but I always enjoy (or look forward to) what the wise saying or proverb will be that is tucked inside. They’re often inspiring or cryptic messages such as, “you will live long and prosper,” or “you are going to meetContinue reading “>The Mystery of the Fortune Cookie”

The book is very moving and literally brought tears to my eyes at certain points.

>Blue Dusk
>This is a photo of my street about 4pm this evening, just before it became dark. It’s interesting how the color blue is associated with cold…and for a reason, it was (I’m guessing) about 9F. Nonetheless, I find the color beautiful. And there’s really only a short time where it is this color…just as itContinue reading “>Blue Dusk”
