Grandfather,
come to me out of the East
with the power of the rising sun.

Let there be light in my words,
let there be light on my path that I walk.

Let me remember always
that you give the gift of a new day.
And never let me be burdened with sorrow
by not starting over again.

Igwien
I am grateful

A break in the clouds

after five days



Four houses washed away, miles south of us. We're safe,on a hill 4000 feet above sea level. I won't be going anywhere til it dries out

Mohave County declares emergency due to flooding

Prayers for those down below

Morning has broken

Now you can hear it outside of your head

One of the most satisfying experiences I know is fully to appreciate an individual in the same way I appreciate a sunset. When I look at a sunset... I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a little more on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color...' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds.

~ Carl R. Rogers,

“A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them.”
~ Leonard L. Levinson

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.
~ Horace Mann

For most people,


we often marvel at the beauty of a sunrise,


or the magnificence of a full moon,


but it is impossible to fathom the magnitude of the universe that surrounds us.

~ Richard H. Baker

“He carefully picked his cast of clouds, watched them intently as they swirled in before the lens and hoped the sun would break in concert.”
~ H. E. Clark

When I look at the sunrise,
Sunlight melts my fears away,

Here Comes The Rain, Again

"The Sun, the hearth of affection and life,

pours burning love on the delighted earth."
~ Arthur Rimbaud ~
