Black and White

I have switched my camera to only shoot black and white and I am finding this to be just the best idea in a long time. Light dances so sweetly in the shadows.

Spring

So today I woke up and WHAM, super sore throat and messed up sinus. Sure enough the Dutch Elm tree in the front yard is going off with pollen. My auto was pretty much yellow this morning.

Avatar!

Really!! Astounding! WOW!!! All expected reactions from a truly incredible film.

The creation of this world Pandora and the technical display of it all in 3D is almost too much to behold. It conjures up thoughts like "Is this what Eden was like?" , or "Could there really be a place like this?" or "I wish I could be there." It is like seeing a coral reef lit up and alive on the ground, with a cross between the magic of Tolkien's Lothlorien and the proud tribal spirit of the Huron.

Then there is the introspective "How could the "company' be so ruthless?" And in it's most important telling is the bottom line. What is the bottom line? What is your bottom line? There are many distinct parallels to life on Earth and life on Pandora with Man.

If you have not seen the movie, you should and if you have you probably want to see it again.

...Love your Mother

Patience is a Virtue

Look not for gold when you hold it in your hand

If you love - share it

If you care - show it

When someone's in need - give to them

Greed only makes you lonely

If someone is angry - listen

If someone's distant - have patience

If someone is happy - be also happy

When there is sadness - speak wisely

When you argue - think about what you are saying

If you forgive - forget

If you promise - keep it

If you dream - live it

If you seek only to attain - you will lose it

When there is stability - pray for stability

If you see - look again

When you can't - have faith

If you take a step - take another

When you can't - wait

Patience is a virtue
