Monday Moment

something to think about today

John Burroughs
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter ... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

and

Hans Hofmann
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

Moment Monday

“Dark and Light form a balance. Without the other, Chaos would ensue. The Dark is formed by shadows the Light creates, and if there was no Dark no one would notice the Light.”

--Veronica Schroers
