Hello Mr. Owl

To live content with small means;
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion;
To be worthy, not respectable;
And wealthy, not rich;
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...
To listen to stars and buds,
To babes and sages, with open heart;
Await occasions, hurry never...
This is my symphony.

William Henry Channing

Growing Flowers

 "The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's,
smile at someone and receive a smile in return,
are to me continual spiritual exercises."

-Leo Buscaglia

Dreamers

"Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy

We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;—

World-losers and world-forsakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems.

Sail Away

"Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
But there is some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take,
when you reach a destination
that you thought you'd never make."

-Mark Twain 

Chicken

"The key to everything is patience.
You get the chicken by hatching the egg,
not by smashing it."

-Arnold H. Glaskow 

Vino ~ The Process

"The discovery of wine

is of greater moment than

the discovery of a constellation.

The universe is too full of stars."

-Benjamin Franklin, c. 1700

The Race

“Patience, grasshopper," said Maia.
"Good things come to those who wait."
"I always thought that was
'Good things come to those who do the wave,'" said Simon.
"No wonder I've been so confused all my life.”

-Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

Flux: n. continuous change

"I wanted a perfect ending.
Now I've learned, the hard way,
that some poems don't rhyme,
and some stories don't have a clear
beginning, middle, and end.

Life is about not knowing,
having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen next.

Delicious Ambiguity."

-Gilda Radner
