destiny

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it. -Jean De La Fontaine

short

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. -John Burroughs

walk

Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. -George Washington Carver

curator

happiness is somewhere i have been before

a blurry photograph that i have since ignored.

i'll carefully adjust the aperture once more,

until i set the record straight.

i'll brush aside the dim, make room for the bright.

i'll be an editor, no, a curator of light.

-aperture by sleeping at last

autumn

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower. -Albert Camus

alone

For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation.-Psalm 62:1

light

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself. -Edward Steichen

shade

People will dwell again in His shade.-Hosea 14:7a
