There's an entire city out there, filled with people. But out of all those people, they found each other: he is the one for her; and she is the one for him.

Throughout life, they'll brush shoulders with all sorts of people, but the one they'll hold close, real close, is each other.

Don't go inside yet.

Wait for sunset to be done.

Greet the night with peace.

Twilight, eventide, dusk, the gloaming hour -- we have so many ways of describing sunset, a time of calmness and contemplation that literally provides a beautiful end to the day.

There are people who say things that are worth hearing. But in order to hear, or read, their words, you have to be determined to do so.

If you rely on those who say they give all the news that's fit to print (or broadcast), you'll simply hear echoes of the same message, bumping into copies of itself.

It was as if the flowers had assembled in a little group, prepared to greet any hiker as he or she walked by.

"Stop for a moment with us," they cried in unison. "Enjoy the view, the advent of evening, and the silence."

And who wouldn't want to spend time with such agreeable companions?

Not in a hurry.

Today, I will take my time

And enjoy the view.

All roads lead someplace but not all at the same pace. And that's a good thing to remember when we find ourselves on the leisurely, winding roads of a country landscape. We won't get to where we're going quickly, but if we're wise, we'll enjoy the process.

The interesting thing about this building is that, essentially, it's just a large box -- but it is the little things, the details throughout, that prevent it from being so.

Built in 1876, the Columbia County Courthouse exhibits a craftsmanship that today's minimalist, "efficient" structures often lack.

Moments of nostalgia remind us that there are good things in the past it's worth not getting rid of, like the fedora hat, or dressing up for a date, or opening doors for one another.

There are always bad things to point to in the past, as there are in the present. What matters is to find what's good and nurture it.

When the world outside is completely white (as mine is right now), it's difficult to picture the many colors of the landscape, especially in spring or autumn.

That's the beauty of the seasons, and the weather -- neither is stagnant, static, stuck, nor frozen. They are dynamic and alive.

Some of our most enduring and timeless technology is the simplest -- baskets, pottery, textiles -- that enable us to carry necessary items, and even people.

Though we have the questionable miracle of plastic, that which is made of organic materials still attracts our eye and attention.

True gold, the real gold

Isn't a cold, hard metal,

But glows with rich warmth.

Nature's greatest gifts -- sunlight, water, clean air, quiet, calmness, and the stateliness of trees -- are there for all to enjoy.

It's a tight little spot, hidden away and not easy to find until you stumble upon it. And when you do, you pick your way over the rocks and across the driftwood until you find a place to stand away from the surf, and then you simply enjoy this amazing discovery that you have made.

When you're good at what you do, you can do it well under all sorts of circumstances. But to get that good, you need to practice.

Experience does not come overnight. Neither does skill.

When we focus on doing something we enjoy -- putting our mental and physical energy to its success, concentrating our intellect upon it -- we derive enjoyment and satisfaction from the process.

It doesn't matter what it is -- it's gratifying. Which means . . . it's not a bad idea to do this more.

For days the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea had been calm and still, but on this day, a storm was brewing. Wind whipped up the waves, and clouds grew and grew until they appeared to fill the sky.

It looked like rain was on its way, but she wasn't ready to leave yet. Nature was putting on too good of a show.

So often to see clearly, you have to get out and away from impediments blocking you -- whether you're in the middle of a forest or a city. When you step into a place that gives you a 360 degree view, you're able to see so much more of landscape, sky, and perspective.

I never drive by this particular landscape without looking at that clump of trees in the back right and thinking about the homestead that used to be there.

It's a reminder to me that we're not on this earth forever, and to use the time we do have wisely and well.

Human beings are complex. As little as we may like or dislike someone, it's difficult to describe any individual as ALL good or ALL bad. We seem to have the ability to walk across both sides of the line, sometimes more on one side than the other.

It's easy to forget, when I go to the coast, that I'm just skirting the edge of the ocean -- its vastness and teeming world of life is beyond my sight, under water and in the depths.

Now and then a reminder of this is flung onto shore, like the piles of kelp, once part of a marine garden, now jumbled upon the sand.

It takes time for a tree or bush or vine to bear the fruit that it has within it to bear -- time, rain, sunlight, wind, warmth, cold: all of these come into factor to nurture the plant, burst forth the blossom, usher the fruit into its full fruition.

You can't hurry the process.

What I love about wind is that it is Nature's reminder that seeing is not always believing (a statement that, in today's day of extensive photo and video manipulation, no longer applies, actually).

We cannot see the wind, and yet it most definitely exists. How many more such unseen things are there?

New year, old year, middle of the year -- the deepest dreams and hopes in our hearts are not something we make resolutions to have or keep; they are simply there, living, breathing, and growing within our innermost being.

May you find the path to walk upon, leading to the fulfillment of those dreams.

At the close of a sunny winter day, you are on a walk in the fresh snow amongst a copse of small, young trees. As the sun descends, the sky transforms into a glow of pink and peach, and a cold breeze glances, bitingly, across your face.

It feels like it's time to go in to a warm place, but you don't want to miss this sunset . . .
