Mid-Winter - January 24, 2020

Winter is half over today. I know, I know, the worst half is yet to come. February - the shortest month that feels like the longest - in my opinion. This is Leap Year too which means we actually have 29 days of February instead of the usual 28 days. Yipee.


When the melting ice and snow slides off the roof and it reacts with the wind, some interesting natural sculptures are produced. (I find beauty in this.) Clicking on photos will enlarge them.

I love the crescent moon in this sunrise shot.

People who have been hurt either pass it on and become abusive themselves, abuse themselves, or they develop a great kindness.

Sometimes the sunrise changes so much in the short space of only a few minutes that it seems like your witnessing many miraculous mornings in simply one morning.


"Rose clasped her hands around her knees. How passionately she longed to be important to somebody again - not important on platforms, not important as an asset in an organization, but privately important, just to one person, quite privately, nobody else to know or notice. It didn't seem much to ask in a world crowded with people, just to have one of them, only one, out of all the millions, to oneself., oh Somebody who needed one, who thought of one, who was eager to come to one - oh, oh how dreadfully one wanted to be precious." Rose Arbuthnot - Enchanted April


When someone stabs you, 
it's not your fault that you feel pain.


That's the advantage with psychopaths - they think they're so fantastic that sooner or later they make a mistake. "Professor T"


Drop the old story.
Give what you didn't get.
Give more.
Love more.

Senator McCarthy would tell a lie 
that he knew was a lie and 
by the time you tracked it down, 
he had told three more.
