Language… has created the word ‘loneliness’ to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word ‘solitude’ to express the glory of being alone. —- Paul Tillich

Looks can be deceiving.

Looks can be deceiving.

The kayaker wasn’t really alone nor was the surfer pictured just above the trees. There was a second kayaker and another surfer hidden from view.

Dear Mother Earth, Like the Eagles Song “I Wish You Peace” 4

…But not just “when the cold winds blow” or “when times are hard.” I wish you peace always. I hope and pray the human race wakes up from our apathy towards you and works together to bring you perfect health and peace. I wish you clean air, clean water, healthy soil, happy and healthy children, strong and healthy animals, plentiful fish in your oceans, streams and lakes. I wish for clear streams and lakes where anyone can drink without fear.

I wish you a world filled with more singing birds and less traffic noise, industrial noise or sounds of war. I wish for you to have more places where the sky is clear and the stars shine bright. I wish you a world filled with caring, laughter, and joy. I wish you a world filled with the pure light of love.

With much love and gratitude for all that you give to us,

Sue
