Pentland Hills

Pentland Hills, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings)

Causeway, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

Waterway

Waterway, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"Time is like a river flowing endlessly through the universe. And if you poled your flatboat in that river you might fight your way against the current and travel upstream into the past. Or go with the flow and rush into the future."

The Beach As A Mirror

The Beach As A Mirror, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"Did Nature supplement what man advanced? Did she complete what he began? With equal complacence she saw his misery, his meanness, and his torture. That dream, of sharing, completing, of finding in solitude on the beach an answer, was then but a reflection in a mirror, and the mirror itself was but the surface glassiness which forms in quiescence when the nobler powers sleep beneath? Impatient, despairing yet loth to go (for beauty offers her lures, has her consolations), to pace the beach was impossible; contemplation was unendurable; the mirror was broken."
— Virginia Woolf (To the Lighthouse)

The Drifting Stick

The Drifting Stick, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"Love is an anchor -- it stops you from drifting away. Love is sticking up for your friends and family, or even your pets. Love is being brave and saying what you feel. Love is making music or playing tennis; it's doing what you want to do. Love is holding on and not letting go."

"Chang Tzu tells us of a persevering man who after three laborious years mastered the art of dragon-slaying. For the rest of his days, he had not a single opportunity to test his skills."

Magic Magnolias

Magic Magnolias, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
— Roald Dahl

The magic of light and of spring Magnolias blooming...

Birth of Light

Birth of Light, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
