When you need to make a decision, to take action, when nobody else is aware of your plans, try to be considerate, but if need be, stand and deliver whatever it takes.

Not every moment is a beauty contest. But decisiveness is ultimately, beautiful.

Enjoy the fireworks as well as the millpond.

A slow pavement, cooled.

Footsteps splashing in puddles, where the aim was bad.

Cars crawling carefully between lampposts.

A dog, looking bewildered sipped from a pool of fresh rain.

Lights reflected as sparkling distortions.

An umbrella inverted in a gust of wind, becoming a giant empty ice cream cone.

Singing and dancing…in the rain.

Dawn sets the pace unless you do.

Treat sunrise as a cue to start paying attention to the beautiful, those who dance and make music.

Every day has moments that alert you to the new ideas they offer, if you listen carefully, look with wide eyes and inhale deeply.

Take a nap.

Someone kindly retrieved a French grammar book I left on a seat at the station this morning and handed it in at the ticket office.

They may never know how pleased I was to see this volume again.

But I hope they can imagine it.

Hearts and bones.

Messages can revive lives.

Words can inspire new worlds, cures and discoveries.

We all need yours.
