sunday sermon

The happiness of one's own heart

alone cannot satisfy the soul;

one must try to include, as necessary to

one's own happiness,

the happiness of others.

Paramahansa Yogananda

sunday sermon

There must be always remaining in every life,

some place for the singing of angels,

some place for that which in itself

is breathless and beautiful.

Howard Thurman

Peace Rose

sunday sermon

All that I am, or hope to be,

I owe to my angel mother.

Abraham Lincoln

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers - physical or spiritual.

poppy walk

The walkway to my house, today (please, ignore the weeds and overgrown lawn). The sun has been out for two days and the poppies that have taken over my yard have finally begun to bloom. Within a week or two - depending on the weather, the entire front yard will be golden...

taken with my iPhone, because I was too lazy to unlock the door and go back into the house to get my Nikon.
