Design in art...


"Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes."

David Herbert Lawrence

Build YOUR Wings!

"If we listened to our intellect, 
we'd never have a love affair. 
We'd never have a friendship. 
We'd never go into business, 
because we'd be cynical. 
Well, that's nonsense. 




You've got to jump off cliffs all the time 
and build your wings on the way down."
~Ray Bradbury

"Libraries raised me. I don’t believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn’t go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years"

Enjoy the climb!

“Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.”
~Harold B. Melchart

because...Dr. Seuss said!

“The more that you read
the more things you will know
The more that you learn
the more places you’ll go.”
~Dr. Seuss

If you want to pronounce the name the way his family did, say Zoice, not Soose. Seuss is a Bavarian name, and was his mother’s maiden name: Henrietta Seuss’s parents emigrated from Bavaria (part of modern-day Germany) in the nineteenth century. Seuss was also his middle name.

Bitterness vs. Anger




Bitterness is like cancer.

It eats upon the host

But anger is like fire

It burns it all clean.

Beauty Lies in the Details!

Whoever said that, 
(bug in the morning dew)
"beauty lies in the details,"
(newly bloomed flower)
 was surely referring to nature!

Do you remember?


I have found
that the best most memorable days
were the ones that didn't start off with a plan.

REAL Talent vs. Modesty...or does it?

You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
 ~ Louisa May Alcott



Like her character, "Jo March" in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy.  "No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race," she claimed, "and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences ..."
For Louisa, writing was an early passion.  She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends.  Louisa preferred to play the "lurid" parts in these plays --"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens."
At age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed:   "I will do something by and by.  Don’t care what, teach, sew, act, write, anything to help the family; and I’ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won’t!
