thoughts for Thursday. . .

. . .along my path
In order for the light to shine so brightly,
the darkness must be present.
Sir Francis Bacon
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
as I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne
The most important thing for me is the
direct observation of nature in its light-filled existence.
August Macke

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals--that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm & unspoiled when the world praises him.
Honoré de Balzac
