Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door. ~Saul Bellow
The walk home 
"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, 
transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your 
soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous 
challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are 
meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life 
story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, 
of power, of dignity, and of love." 
- Caroline Adams
Friends are like windows 
Friends are like windows through which you see out into the world and back into yourself... If you don't have friends you see much less than you otherwise might.” 
Merle Shain
Infinite Power 
Natural objects themselves, even when they make no claim
to beauty, excite the feelings, and occupy the imagination. 
Nature pleases, attracts, delights, merely because it is nature. 
We recognize in it an Infinite Power.
- Karl Wilhelm Humboldt

Smith Mountain Lake Evening 
"The way I see it, there are two kinds of dreams. One is a dream that's always going to be just that..... A dream. A vision that you can never really hold in your hand. Then there's a dream that's more than a dream its like.... A map. A map that you live by and follow for the rest of your days Knowing that someday your going to stand on top of that Mountain holding everything you thought of Right There In Your Hand!"
--Robert Cooper

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German Playwright, Poet, Novelist and Dramatist. (1749-1832)
Pleasantview Virginia 
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

A visit to Pleasantview Virginia was really an invitation to a pleasant view.
Sunset on fire 
People mistakenly think that art is about nature, or about an artist's feelings about nature. It is instead a path of enlightenment and pleasure, one of many paths, where nature and the artist's feelings are merely raw material. (Wolf Kahn)
