“For many years, I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen,

 that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. 

The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, 

the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, 

the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go.” 

― Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters,

but it's a lot harder than it looks

because even tho they had the same size feet as us,

they weren't looking down the whole time 

while they walked to make sure they were doing it right

...she thought it'd be easy...

Once, there was a girl who wanted to change the world 

& at first, she thought it’d be easy, 

because if everyone could see how beautiful it’d be, 

it’d take about a minute, 

but all the people she talked to were too busy

 to stop and listen.

So, she went off & did beautiful things all on her own

 & pretty soon people were stopping 

and asking if they could come along & do that, too 

& that’s how she figured out how worlds change.

when a beam of sunlight catches the

resplendent tail feathers of a peacock, the effect is one of

dazzling beauty. in the same way, people can surprise us when

we see them in a different light from usual, or in different

circumstances. be alert to flashes of unexpected beauty all

around you,

from family and friends-surprising acts of courage,

compassion, wit, or wisdom.

such moments will enrich your life.

september wallpaper...feel free to use.

My new rules for living simply (continued) 4. Get a uniform. I like t-shirts & pajama bottoms. This is my sleep uniform. This is how my life works. You may need a different uniform for the way your life works. When you find a piece of clothing you like, buy 6 more. This way you have one for every day of the week. Tell everyone you know that's what you did. Tell them it's your uniform. That way you don't have to change every day. Most people just assume you're putting on clean clothes. But, really, you only have to change if you get food on yourself, or if you start to stink

...& small pools of light...

My favorite time of day is just at dark when all thoughts of what must be done stop

 & small pools of light come alive on tired faces everywhere.
