Sandy Oregon Sunrise

My good friend Joe took this stunning shot of the Sandy River (Oregon) looking into the sunrise. Beautiful! Please go to Joe’s site and show your appreciation. He is a hard working man that does not get out as much as he’d like, but he does take very beautiful shots.

There are some nice gems in here re debate, communication, individual & group identities. Well worth a read.

“STUPID“

“…lack of self-awareness, lack of information or understanding, islands of emotionalism or impulsivity, unexamined biases, self-affirming rationalizations…” Dr. Joy Bliss

Wrought

“Before the Middle Ages, wrought iron was used primarily for weapons and tools, however, the medieval period brought with it a multitude of uses for wrought iron. It began to be used to cover doors and windows of buildings to protect against the attacks of raiders. But more prominently, wrought ironwork began to appear for decorative purposes.” Wrought Iron

Life’s Bouquets

“Let me tell you something – being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.” Halle Berry

Transitory or not, beauty is recognized in the moment and savored. Everyone can define it for themselves, and know it when they see it, feel it, hear it. Thank goodness we don’t just settle, conform, acquiesce to the rubble, the greys, the bland. I was sitting staring at this beautiful bouquet yesterday. Cultivated to please. Transitory but enjoyed in the moment as a gesture of beauty.
