Nature is not a forgiving force
but she gives us time before she collects her due.
though we can't leave things unresolved like the way I left things with you.
Some days when storm clouds gather
And a Spirited Wind whispers in my ear
I stand a face the things to come with measured fear.
Tonight as I lay my head upon my pillow
in the half light and shadows of a darkened room.
I let the dust of the day slip away and whisper a prayer that dreams come soon.

words
Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Photo gallery – Denver Feb, 2010
I often find lots of great opportunities to enjoy the place that I am visiting for work. These are shots from a trip to Denver in Feb, 2010 for the ACA National Conference.
I had the chance to follow behind a couple of great photogs Tim and Shari. We walked around on a snowy night and shared ideas and techniques for which I benefitted the most...
just a quote…
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

weekends need to be longer
I am working on a website update, editing and deleting video and trying to catch up up on my own creative work. The weekends are just not long enough these days.
Here's one of many:
