Follow The Sun

Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows. ~Jean Paul

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, 

and can accomplish much, and what is done 

in love is done well. ~Vincent Van Gogh

Art of Seeing

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible 

to others. ~Jonathan Swift

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. 

Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~Scott Adams

In The Stillness

No matter how slow the film, Spirit always

 stands still long enough for the 

photographer it has chosen. ~Minor White

Some photographers take reality... 

and impose the domination of their own thought 

and spirit. Others come before reality more

tenderly and a photograph to them is an

instrument of love and revelation. ~Ansel Adams

Choose Your Destiny

Set your sights high, the higher the better.

Expect the most wonderful things to happen,

not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way. ~Eileen Caddy

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but 

in ourselves. ~William Shakespeare

In Pink Light

I perhaps owe having become a 

painter to flowers. ~Claude Monet

Flowers have spoken to me more than I can

tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics 

of angels, loved by all men  for the beauty 

of their character, though few can decipher

even fragments of their meaning. ~Lydia M. Child

A Garden Perch

Gray sail against the sky, 

Gray butterfly!

Have you a dream for going,

Or are you the blind wind's blowing? ~Dana Burnet

Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction 

of common men. ~Giorgio de Chirico

Marmalade Blossoms

On Saturday afternoons when all the things are done in the house and there's no real work to be done, I play Bach and Chopin and turn it up real loudly and get a good bottle of chardonnay and sit out on the deck and look out at the garden. ~Maya Angelou

No occupation is so delightful to me as the

culture of the earth, and no culture

comparable to that of the garden. ~Thomas Jefferson
