This world is but a canvas to our imaginations.
~ Henry David Thoreau
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.

To parallel my previous post (Paul McCartney’s music video “My Valentine” featuring Natalie Portman)…
The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism. Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.

Touché. Love this graffiti!
“Illuminating Night”
One day at a time- this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.
— Ida Scott Taylor

Thought this was fitting after my long road trip…
Many people need desperately to receive this message: ‘I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.’ – Kurt Vonnegut

It is my dad’s birthday today and I thought I would share some father inspired quotes to celebrate his birthday.
Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. ~Unknown
He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering-galleries, they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity. ~Jean Paul Richter
It is also Tanner’s birthday (my dog) today as well. I thought I would throw in a couple quotes for him too!
My little dog – a heartbeat at my feet. ~Edith Wharton
Whoever said you can’t buy happiness forgot about little puppies. -Gene Hill
