children know...


Children will draw pictures with everything in them...houses and trees and people and animals...and the sun AND the moon. Grown-up says, "That's a nice picture, Honey, but you put the moon and the sun in the sky at the same time and that isn't right." But the child is right! The sun and moon are in the sky at the same time.



R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)

chapter 3...walden...

With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike. In accumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident.

a little Einstein for your "holiday" weekend...

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us “universe”, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."







"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

~Albert Einstein

common hours.....

•"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - 18. Conclusion, Walden, Henry David Thoreau




~ more reading of Walden, it's a slow read...but i absolutely love it, it helps me connect to the world inside the world...if that makes any sense........... three sisters photo shoot on Sunday, the girls and i had so much fun!!
