May our technological advancements evolve harmoniously with our natural world and bring abundance to all its creatures.

Whatever your path, its treasures you've created.

Follow a well beaten path or carve out your own -either way, the experience will be uniquely yours - your very own.

Dreams, like seeds of intentions - Keep in the sun of your thoughts - water with hope.

The brush is merely a tool - though it can be crafted a magic wand.

Coming down off the trail, I am lost in my own thoughts and unprepared when a bear chugs across the path just before it gives out on the gravel road. I am so distracted that I keep walking towards the bear. I only stop when it rears, stands on hind legs, and stares at me, sensitive nose pressed into the air, weak eyes searching. I have never been this close to a wild bear before, but I am not frightened. There is no menace in its stance; it is not even curious. The bear seems to know who or what I am. The bear is not impressed.
