Wonder
“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”

The crispy cold air feels refreshing.
Melting dreamy sounds.
Peace and freedom.
Dripping art deco buildings.
Gracious enough: jumping out of the water.

Bright lights and energy:
Have a great day!

Ernest Hemingway
Change
“you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”
Stephen King
