Hiking in the green heart of Holland today
It's not raining right now, but the remnants of a hurricane are tracking to our west. The forecast is for showers and thunderstorms with "isolated tornadoes" in our area.
Phoebe, the goat, is advising us to stay home today, and go to the zoo tomorrow.
My "weekend" is Friday and Saturday.
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Maybe she’ll come with the next spring
Maybe year after year with the white on my head
Wisdom
Forse verrà con la prossima primavera
Forse anno dopo anno col bianco sul mio capo
Saggezza
These are my teeth. If you look at the note you can see where one of my wisdom teeth is coming in at the wrong angle. I'm going to have to have it surgically removed. Ouch.
An old bit of Texas wisdom teaches us that “you can put your boots in the oven, but that don’t make them biscuits.”

Recently I had the honor to photograph a man who will be a hundred years old in a couple of weeks... Hands have always fascinated me. This picture was living in my mind for a long time, ever since I planned these important images for the different family generations.

Description
The Indigenous Peoples in Canada are an inspirational example of resilience due to their ability to withstand adversity and persevere through generations of oppressive colonial policies. Historic injustices persist, including the effects of cultural genocide from the residential school system of Canada. Here we symbolize bridging the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples through gathering. Accomplished through the support of the seven grandfather teachings, represented by the seven rings of the installation, that originated with the Anishnabae Peoples, passed down through generations that ensures the survival of all Indigenous Peoples: Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth. Orange represents the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, and the reality that the support of non-Indigenous Peoples, as Indigenous Peoples assert rights to self-determination, will strengthen relations and begin to redress the historic wrongs. Orange is displayed in the ropes where the pattern pays homage to the creation of drums, where the ropes were weaved to honour culture. The installations flow towards the lifeguard stand reinforces the strengthening of the relationship and that the protection of Canada hinges on the unity between peoples. We aim to symbolize movement to a new relationship, one based on mutual respect that honours Indigenous treaties and rights. The road forward is long and nonlinear, but we commit to take the journey together.
