More thoughts to ponder

One day you will ask me which is more important... my life or yours. I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
Kahil Gibran.


The only difference between stumbling blocks and stepping 


stones is the way in which we use them!


Photography has many similarities with poetry.  There's not a strong relationship between the disciplines, but there is a tight one between the sensibilities.  
Black and white is minimalist.  Poetry is just literature with the water squeezed out of it and good literature is just journalism that doesn't grow old.  
This says a lot to me a...bout what makes good photojournalism.
- Larry Towell


Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world.   For, indeed, that's all whoever have. 
-Margaret Mead




No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, enjoy it and bless God for it.  
Do not look back on happiness, or dream of it in the future.  You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.
~ Henry Ward Beecher




Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart.




Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live. 
~ Albert Einstein


Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind. 
 - Lionel Hampton


It is my firm conviction that human nature is essentially compassionate and gentle.  That is the predominant feature of human nature. Anger, violence, and aggression may arise, but on a secondary or more superficial level; in a sense, they arise when we are frustrated in our efforts to achieve love and affection.  They are not part of our most basic, underlying nature.
-Dalai Lama


If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!  
If you want change, you must do what you haven't done yet!

Old age is not a disease--it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses. 


- Maggie Kuhn




LEARN from yesterday, 
LIVE for today, 
HOPE for tomorrow. 


- Anon.


Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. 
~ Seneca


Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. 

Max Lucado


The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. 
~ Thich Hanh


Remember, you are special because I made you. And I don't make mistakes.
— Max Lucado


To lead the orchestra, you have to turn your back on the crowd.
— Max Lucado
 
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. 
- Aristotle
