Advice from a lizard. Before he turned to stone.
"Soak up some sun, snap up opportunities.
Be a colorful character, appreciate stillness.
Shed your old ways.
Be dashing."

"I don't interrupt because I don't care. I interrupt because I feel everything at once. I don't want to lose it."
"The beauty and mystery of this world only emerges through affection, attention, interest and compassion. Open your eyes wide and actually see this world by attending to its colors, details and irony,"

Put some color into your life.
Be perfectly imperfect and love yourself.
"When you avoid something,
you're meant to do, life loses clarity."
"There's always a hidden owl in knowledge."
Think about this.
"When I'm at the bottom looking up, the main question may not be 'how do I get out of this hole?' In reality, the main question might be 'how do I get rid of the shovel that I used to dig it?"

Be rough with yourself.

Looks like maybe the west end? And the Renaissance for sure.
That's what I love about Minnesota, and all the festivals in various cities. This post mostly Owatonna, dog with fire truck at the Burnsville Festival and Fire Muster and yes, snuck in a photo from my most favorite festival. Lucky to have this weekend off many hot spots to do.
