Build Instead of Talk

A reminder that our hands are always at the ready.

Paint what you love.

A reminder that what looks like play,
probably is. 
It is a happy talent to know how to play.Ralph Waldo Emerson
I spotted this van months ago as I exited the freeway.

Finally I caught it at the grocery store.

"It's not what you look at that matters,
it's what you see."
Henry David Thoreau

...an ode to the importance of daily walks
along similar avenues where we grew up

is something so simple and yet so renewing.

Why are some of us forever fascinated by buildings?

"Architecture is how the person places herself in the space.
Fashion is about how you place the object on the person."
Zaha Hadid

"Real silence is silence without words,

silence that speak words in silence

and silence that talks better than words."
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Too many shops are falling into ruin.

"It's the little details that are vital.
Little things make big things happen."
John Wooden

Open your box of blessings 

and take out something to smile about.

Next take something out and give it away.

Pull up a chair. Take a taste. 
Come join us. Life is so endlessly delicious.
Ruth Reichl

"When you do more than you learn 
you leave a distinctive notable footprint on earth."
E. A. Yeboah

If you stumble across a gem, be sure to capture it,
 before it too disappears, as they often do.

The ode to everyday life
begins and ends with people.
and kindness, tenderness, 
laughter and generosity shared
 sings sweetly.

The mind I love must have wild places,
a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in
the heavy grass,
an overgrown little wood
a pool that nobody's fathomed 
the depth of
and paths threaded 
with flowers planted by the mind.
Katherine Mansfield

Thanks for stopping by,
 dream a little dream and be happy in all that you do.
