“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.”

- Albert Einstein

i have put love at the very center of my life.
love is the why of everything I do and it carries me.
through to completion when things get tough.
love is what compels and impels my life and
this love is the very essence of who and what I am.

love lights my way as I focus my attention on
the loves of my life – those people and things that
bring the most joy to me – music, art, friends, pets,
sunshine, children’s laughter, wildflowers –
I am guided, driven, compelled, and lifted up by love
today.

"Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after."

Henry David Thoreau

“One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundred of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…” I made a difference for that one.” 

“I do not at all understand the mystery of grace. Only, that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us.”

~Anne Lamott
