think before speaking
listen to really hear
keep the mouth shut tightly —
in silence
the connection is loud and clear.

Gratitude for my man and his quiet ways

  Thanks. I was disappointed with the clarity — it looked great when I was editing it to B&W. Maybe I’ll change it back to color and see if I like it better.

Favorite Quotes from the Cottage

Favorite Quotes from the Cottage

You mustn’t wish for another life. You mustn’t want to be somebody else. What you must do is this:
“Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In everything give thanks.”
I am not all the way capable of so much, but those are the right instructions. -- Wendell Berry from Hannah Coulter

The world is charged with the grandeur of God. -- Gerard Manley Hopkins

"Fear is the original sin," wrote John Foster. "Almost all the evil in the world has its origin in the fact that someone is afraid of something."--L.M.Montgomery from The Blue Castle

It is only with the heart one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye. -- Antoine St. Exupery from The Little Prince

Art is the realization of a permanent idea in an ephemeral form. -- Charles Wagner from The Simple Life

We have deemed all these words necessary in order to explain that we have been traveling more slowly than was predicted; concision is not a definitive virtue, on occasion one loses out by talking too much, it is true, but how much has also been gained by saying more than was strictly necessary. --Jose Saramago from The Stone Raft

The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of men. -- G.K. Chesterton

Jane Holton, shifting slightly inside her nice black coat, was thinking that, after all, life was a gift--that one of those things about getting older was knowing that so many moments weren't just moments, they were gifts.-- Elizabeth Strout from Olive Kitteridge

There are moments in life--rare for most people--when you suddenly realize that the tapestry of the world is grander and more intricately woven than you had ever imagined. -- Jonathan Auxier from Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard

We must always remember that the path does not produce the change; it only places us where the change can occur.--Richard Foster
