“The sea gulls float,so gracefully,As they fly—now low,now high—And rich colors of the sunsets Brighten all the western sky.”~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham

Steps in Life
“I was in darkness,but I took three steps and found myself in paradise.The first step was a good thought,the second,a good word;and the third,a good deed.”-Friedrich Nietzsche
Attitude in Life
“A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds;it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.”-Earl Nightingale
Life on Earth
“Every day,think as you wake up,today I am fortunate to be alive,I have a precious human life,I am not going to waste it.I am going to use all my energies to develop myself,to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.I am going to have kind thoughts towards others,I am not going to get angry or think badly about others.I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”-Dalai Lama
Vision in Life
“A glimpse is not a vision.But to a man on a mountain road by night,a glimpse of the next three feet of road may matter more than a vision of the horizon.”-C. S. Lewis
Beauty of Moon
“Whenever I gaze up at the moon,I feel like I’m on a time machine.I am back to that precious pinpoint of time, standing on the foreboding – yet beautiful – Sea of Tranquility.I could see our shining blue planet Earth poised in the darkness of space.”- Buzz Aldrin
Beauty of Nature
“Nature is so powerful,so strong.Capturing its essence is not easy-your work becomes a dance with light and the weather.It takes you to a place within yourself.”-Annie Leibovitz
Heart and Soul
“Your mind must become one,do not try to understand with your ears but with your heart.Indeed,not with your heart but with your soul.”- Zhuangzi
Simplicity in Life
“Going back to a simpler life based on living by sufficiency rather than excess is not a step backward.Rather,returning to a simpler way allows us to regain our dignity,puts us in touch with the land,and makes us value human contact again.”-Yvon Chouinard
Mountains in Life
“The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain – he is inspired by it.The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem–he is challenged by it.Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.”-William Arthur Ward
