I'd like to know that you can see the Beauty every day
and guide your life by its Presence. I'd like to know
that you can see the Beauty,
even when it's not pretty every day…

Calm Water With Perfect Mountain Cloud Reflection

This life, therefore, is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness;
not health, but healing; not being, but becoming;
not rest, but exercise.

We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it.
The process is not yet finished, but
it is going on.

This is not the end, but it is the road.
All does not yet gleam in glory, but
all is being purified.
~ Martin Luther

Jim Fords River Pushing Floating Pack

What constitutes the bulwark
of our own liberty and independence?

It is not our crowning battlements,
our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy.
These are not our reliance against tyranny.
All of these may be turned against us
without making us weaker for the struggle.

Our reliance is in the spirit which prized liberty
as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere.

Destroy this spirit
and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors.
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage
and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.

Accustom to trample on the rights of others
and you have lost the genius of your own independence
and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant
who rises among you.
~ Abraham Lincoln

River Mountain Evening

Heaven walks among us ordinarily
muffled is such triple and tenfold disguises
that the wisest are deceived,
and no one perceives the days to be gods.

Orange Sunset Forest Reflection - A Fond Good Evening

Home is place, geography, and psyche;
it’s a matter of survival and safety,
a condition of attachment and self-definition.
It’s where you learn from your parents
and repeat to your children
all the stories of what it means
to belong to the place and people of your ken.
~ Barbara Kingsolver

… he wrote that his daily stint of painting
brought everything into balance and harmony.
…Harlan thought that a painting, to be good,
must be done with dash and abandonment,
even one which has meticulous detail.
If one niggles over it, the result is dull and lifeless.
…I have so little skill and handle my tools and materials
in a fumbling way, yet in painting, even in playing the violin,
I sometimes strike deep, and the technique
 seems as honest and handmade.
~ Wendell Berry, from Harlan Hubbard,
