    “What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship means; they show us how to live and die.”

    The Alley

    It started raining yesterday late afternoon and is still lightly raining this morning. So, I’m sitting in small coffee shop near campus. I’ve already downed a small scone and  a small soy chai, so I’m set. My photography has been almost nonexistent lately. I’m okay with that, sort of. This image is from past summer while on a walk around my hotel. I knew it would be black and white when I pressed the shutter.

    Opening Doors

    Mystery Doors
    Mystery Doors

    “Be an opener of doors”  ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Five words but they do have power behind them. As for myself I could sure do more about opening more does in my life. I see them all the time in life. I would like to be able to quiet those voices within me who talk me out of opening more doors. I’m envious of those who are always opening the doors in their lives.
