“A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.”

From: http://waterfallsuplift.blogspot.com/



Waterfalls are spectacular, simultaneously beautiful,

uplifting, overwhelming and bringing such immediacy

into our minds.



There is no wondering about

what the waterfalls were like

yesterday, no way to know what

they'll look like tomorrow.

There will always be a shade of

difference, a nuance noticed

or not, but to see them right now,

in this moment in their

powerful splendor---that is the

way to celebrate the present.





“Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall.”



Fulton J. Sheen



Enjoy the season, whatever your beliefs, and

Go well
