In Her Surroundings

A space for things I like

Travel often. Getting lost lets you find yourself.

Open your mind, arms and heart to new things and people.

Ask the next person you see what their passion is, share your inspiring dream with them.

At once epic-scale and earth bound.


I don’t like work, no one does, but I, like what is in the work, the chance to find yourself
Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness

They say I’m old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!

—Dr Seuss

The first days of spring.

Night time streaches your soul

“Never let anyone rob you of your right to be complete.  The daylight is for the brain and the senses, the darkness is for the heart and the wits — Never, never be afraid.  Your brain may fail you one day, but your heart won’t.  He returned like a comet, leaving behind a shining trail of love.”

Mister God this is Anna.

The Laughing Heart

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

   Charles Bukowski
