Piloting

One of my greatest joys in life is piloting!

Piloting my life by my own design.

A few quotes from Beryl Markham and me.

There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing.





How about the silence of a cat before her purring begins?


There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. 





or by the water sharing a hot summer day together.


There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same.




There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt.



There is a certain silence that can emanate from a lifeless object as from a chair lately used, or from a piano with old dust upon its keys.

or from anything that has answered to the need of a man, for pleasure or for work.



Which way now? What does the map say?



A map says to you
read me carefully,
follow me closely, doubt me not
I am the earth in the palm of your hand.




Togetherness is the key ingredient to a happy childhood!



The only impossible journey is the one you never begin!




You bring your own weather to any picnic.





I've/we've prioritized taking care of my mind, having fun
and doing the things that me/us laugh.


Fall in love with the energy of your days
breathe in all that you can
retrace your fond memories
but never stop adding more memories
 to your days.

Thanks for sharing time with me. Take good care of you.

Lots of thoughts to ponder here. I am a fan of many silences. They sing (quietly) of peace to me.
Have a wonderful day/week. As I am sure you will.

Silence is golden, at least that’s what my 4th grade teacher had me write a few hundred times...

I love all these gorgeous shots today Karen, the words also. Children growing up together with brothers, sisters, cousins and friends gives them the best grounding in life ✨

I'm here to testify about Mr John Blank ATM Cards which can withdraw money from any ATM machines around the world.. firstly I thought it was scam until I saw so many testimony about how Mr John sent them the ATM blank card and how it was used to withdraw money in any ATM machine and become rich so I decided to risk the opportunity I contacted him also and I applied for the Blank Card to my greatest surprise I have used it to get 10,000 dollars. maximum withdrawal daily $1,000, Mr John is giving out the card just to help the poor. Hack and take money directly from any ATM Machine Vault,If your interested kindly contact him directly on his email (johnlopez1945@gmail.com)
