i just read a commencement speech by martin luther king, jr. he gave the address at oberlin college in 1965. fifty years have passed, yet his words still resonate: "human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. it comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals. without this hard work, time becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. we must realize that the time is always right to do right."

how can i “do right” today? how can i bring more kindness, integrity, courage, love, wisdom, and compassion into these uncertain times? these are the questions on my mind and in my heart.

ps: dr. king's speech is wonderful and apt. it's a worthwhile read, especially on the eve of this presidential inauguration. mlk's words are eerily real yet also hopeful.

We did a little lighthouse hunting on Prince Edward Island and found this beauty back in the middle of nowhere. I have no idea where on the Island this was, so I can’t put it on the map. I processed this in Photoshop and textured it with two of my own textures.

i cannot see the city

and yet i have arrived

When the moon comes up

the bells are silent

and the paths seem

impenetrable.

When the moon comes up

the sea covers the earth

and the heart becomes

island in the infinite.

(Federico García Lorca)

Unfortunately, even this great moon does not get the tide in this lake, because there is very little water .....

I captured this image last night, after I had already made my daily submission, but, this was too cool not to share with the TWIP Family 365 Project group.

The White Wave, southern Utah. When I travel, I like going off the beaten path. I abhor crowds so I look for alternative interesting places to go. When we travelled to Utah, a colleague and avid hiker of my husband advised us not to go into any of the slot canyons without a guide because of the risk of flash floods. I began searching for a guide and found this great outfit in Kanab tht fit our needs perfectly. They offered small group tours (as in 8 ppl or less). The best tour we've ever been on. The guides were are locals who had skills and knowledge, exactly what we were looking for. They talked biology, botany and geology combined with excellent driving skills and great conversation. This place was spectacular with rock formations, views and petroglyphs and artifacts. An easy hike for experienced hikers. And photo opps a plenty. I will go back someday. I want to live there.
