This view of the James River is located in Amherst County, Virginia. I took this shot last week while standing on the James River Foot Bridge, which crosses the river at the Appalachian Trail.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~Henry David Thoreau

Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together.

All things connect.

Chief Seattle, 1854

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

(Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), Argentinian author. "A New Refutation of Time," Labyrinths (1964).)

“In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.”

Marc Chagall

“Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.”
