One Walk

2009.05.29
Starting out—
"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

There's the frame store—

“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”

— Dag Hammarskjold

Bench in front of a coffee house—

“To listen well, is as powerful a means of influence as to talk well, and is as essential to all true conversation”

—Chinese Proverb

Part of a front yard—

“When fortune calls, offer her a chair”

Yiddish Proverb

A local church—

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
~G.K. Chesterton

I passed several buildings—

“Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.”

—Alan Alda

And then I walked down a path—

A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
—William Blake

The goats stayed hidden—

“Lord, keep my memory green.”

—Charles Dickens

Mural painted on a building—

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.

— Oscar Wilde

Construction—

“'But then,' thought Alice. 'shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way--never to be an old woman--but then--always to have lessons to learn!'”


— Lewis Carroll

The local Methodist Church—

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.
—Corrie ten Boom

Do you suppose someone threw paint?

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

—Maya Angelou
