The Doors
Industrial Science Building If you can imagine it, you can create it, that beautiful world you dream about, needs positive action to come true.

Watch the Giraffe
Somewhere in Savannah When reason goes out the window, problems come in through the doorway of irrationality. Be careful it could be a giraffe. Sorry, but I’m playing around today. Only drugs I’ve had this morning is caffeine.

Happy New Year
Near one of my hotels “Remember the entrance door to the sanctuary is within you.”
RumiYes, these doors are hiding a couple of trash dumpsters. Full of garbage. Things discarded by others and considered useless. Yet, I have watched people rummaging through dumpsters finding things of value to repair, fix and reuse. What most of us assumed to be garbage behind those doors has value, to someone.
I have no new year resolutions. However, this coming year there will be the task of continuing to open doors. I feel that behind the door are gifts and talents I’ve discarded, never used, or even knew about, not trash. Those doors I’ve opened in 2013 have provided for growth as a son, father, grandfather, elder and a photographer. So, I’m looking forward to 2014. Happy New Year!
