Some thoughts on life

peace is more important than happiness,

how we see the world is a vital skill,

if we see the attainment of peace and happiness existing outside of ourselves instead of within,

coping with life and ourselves becomes much more difficult.

and if you become overly concerned about what others think or feel about you and life,

you become captive, instead of being free, giving power to others instead of empowering yourself,

life is meant to be a puzzle, if not a test,

being open to seeing things in a new way, makes finding the answers much easier,

though I have chosen my path to be as a Christian, and am at peace with my choice.

Trees by the Dismal River

 

a doorway, or maybe not

 

Bridge over the canal

bridge in the park,

over the canal.

a wonderful place to walk,

and think about important things,

things that are timeless,

precious,

and holy.

     

To Calli

the cat that showed up at our house, adopted us, and trusted us with her kittens. she passed a few years back, and we are left with just one of her kittens. I hope she knows the joy she and her kittens brought into our lives, for well over 20 years. thinking of you today, Calli, and want to thank you one last time.
 

Free

faces seen in the painting,

not meant to be there,

escaping the brain,

making the long dangerous journey,

to the hand, and brush stroke,

forever free.
