    "Life is a moving image, unfolding and changing beyond our control. Despite our desire to freeze a moment or go back into the past and alter events, time presses us forward."
    -From "The Memory Keeper's Daughter"

    "Live for today but hold your hands open to tomorrow...There is a seed of God's love in every event, every circumstance, every unpleasant situation in which you may find yourself."
    -Barbara Johnson

  • Arboretum of Los Angeles County

    "It is an extraordinary and beautiful thing that God, in creation...works with the beauty of matter; the reality of things; the discoveries of the senses, all five of them; so that we, in turn, may hear the grass growing; see a face springing to life in love and laughter.... The offerings of creation...our glimpses of truth."


    -Madeliene L'Engle

  • Butterflies

    May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun

    And find your shoulder to light on,

    To bring you luck, happiness and riches

    Today, tomorrow and beyond.

    ~Irish Blessing



    Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne


    I've watched you now a full half-hour;

    Self-poised upon that yellow flower

    And, little Butterfly! Indeed

    I know not if you sleep or feed.

    How motionless! - not frozen seas

    More motionless! and then

    What joy awaits you, when the breeze

    Hath found you out among the trees,

    And calls you forth again!

    ~William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"
