— Reflections of an Optiimist —


They are us  through different eyes.

To be smart is to know ignorance.

A snowflake is pretty—but cold.

A door is only a window 'til you walk through it.

Each moment in your life becomes "now" only once.

If you want to climb a mountain,   do not look for stairs.

You must hear the thunder, but you should listen to the rain.

You can't measure the depth of a river standing on the bank.

By wheels the traveler arrives sooner, but by foot, stronger.

You may not always see it,  but the sun is always shining.

Narrow paths that cross share little at the intersection.

A house needs at least a roof; a home not even that.

It's the rider that needs the reins,  not the horse.

A dam impedes a river,  a bridge conquers it.

When appraising a tree, consider its roots.

Smell the flowers, but harvest the corn.

Pessimism  pays  no  dividends.

Good things grow in dirt.

Helping trumps hoping.

A fork in the road offers three alternatives.

Examine a cloud too closely and you end up in fog.
