    Watch the Giraffe

    The Store
    Somewhere in Savannah

    When reason goes out the window, problems come in through the doorway of irrationality. Be careful it could be a giraffe. Sorry, but I’m playing around today. Only drugs I’ve had this morning is caffeine.

    Happy New Year

    Doors and Latch
    Near one of my hotels

    “Remember the entrance door to the sanctuary is within you.”

    Rumi

    Yes, these doors are hiding a couple of trash dumpsters. Full of garbage. Things discarded by others and considered useless. Yet, I have watched people rummaging through dumpsters finding things of value to repair, fix and reuse. What most of us assumed to be garbage behind those doors has value, to someone.

    I have no new year resolutions. However, this coming year there will be the task of continuing to open doors. I feel that behind the door are gifts and talents I’ve discarded, never used, or even knew about, not trash. Those doors I’ve opened in 2013 have provided for growth as a son, father, grandfather, elder and a photographer. So, I’m looking forward to 2014. Happy New Year!

    Opening Doors

    Mystery Doors
    Mystery Doors

    “Be an opener of doors”  ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Five words but they do have power behind them. As for myself I could sure do more about opening more does in my life. I see them all the time in life. I would like to be able to quiet those voices within me who talk me out of opening more doors. I’m envious of those who are always opening the doors in their lives.
