Sob, heavy world 
Sob as you spin, 
Mantled in mist 
Remote from the happy.

The road goes ever on and on

016 journey

“He who is outside his door already has the hardest part of his journey behind him.”
– Dutch proverb

And my bookshelves would look differently if I didn’t include a Tolkien quote here:

“You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Life is better with a Tutu

015 tutu

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. 
– Desmond Tutu

I cannot let a quote from Desmond Tutu go by without bragging a bit that I’ve had the privilege of meeting the man.  He came to the office I worked in during the days when Apartheid was still going strong (at least officially) and I had the privilege to make him and others whom he met there some tea.  His then assistant kept flitting around our office saying: “The Archbishop has this, and the Archbishop only likes this, and the Archbishop only has it this way…”  The Archbishop himself, though, was (and I guess still is) a charming, unassuming man, kindhearted and full of humour.  I remember when he was still relatively new to his title of Archbishop he was seen walking around with a t-shirt sporting the slogan: “Just call me Arch.”

Debbie supplies the quote and photo to illustrate it (see it here) and others add their own interpretation.

Jills-in-the-box

I like to photograph anyone before they know what their best angles are.
— Ellen Von Unwerth

Those two beauties were kind of comfy until they saw me and my camera.  They scrambled to come out of their box to show their best side.  I think they succeeded.
