Tell them your Story

Tell them your story. Time passes so quickly. As a journalist, I am acutely aware of the necessity of writing things down; recording events as accurately and objectively as possible. As a photographer, I am convinced each of us has a responsibility to tell our own story; to capture key moments in our lives and the lives of those close to us, not only for ourselves, but for generations to come.
One's sense of identity and place in this world is important; each of us has a role in helping preserve our wholly unique family histories and special events. Expensive possessions may come and go, but our personal stories and photographs are timeless and therefore priceless.

Happiness

"The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove. "

~ Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Win Or Lose?

Before your children learn to win or lose,
they play at games for fun.
But then they come to believe
that they must win
at games, at business,
and at war.
they even learn to win or lose
at love.


But the Tao teaches
that games are for fun,
that business is for the common good,
that no one wins at war,
and that love endures for all.

Detachment

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

Animals killed for food are neglected, tortured, kept in filthy conditions, and often slaughtered in painful ways, such as having their throats cut while fully conscious. I won't support this cruelty.
