“The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.” ~David Russell

Play
“Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.” ~Stuart Brown

Cattle on a hill
For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
Psalm 50:10-11
If you like bluegrass, you might enjoy this song of joy and gratitude entitled “Cattle on a Thousand Hills” by Michael Milton. I did. 🙂

Rusty Roof
“If you rest, you rust.” ~Helen Hayes
Six black vultures sitting in a tree
They rendezvous high in a tree
like sitting ducks
Scavenging birds of prey —
Nature’s garbage trucks.
Getting a taste
“A person with taste is merely one who can recognize the greatest beauty in the simplest things.” ~Barbara Taylor Bradford
Hidden
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
~Charlotte Bronte
The old red barn
“Inside a barn is a whole universe, with its own time zone and climate and ecosystem, a shadowy world of swirling dust illuminated in tiger stripes by light shining through the cracks between the boards. Old leather tack, lengths of chain, rope, and baling twine dangled from nails and rafters and draped over stall railings. Generations of pocketknives lay lost in the layers of detritus on the floor.” ~Carolyn Jourdan
Of Course, Of Course!
“All music is folk music. I ain’t never heard a horse sing a song.” ~Louis Armstrong
