Driving to work, I spotted a Stellar Eagle perched on one of the Sounder Train upright supports facing East. I am so blessed and in the “FLOW”.๐ฆ









“In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fir for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.”
John Ruskin (English Polymath & Writer; February 8th 1819 to January 20th, 1900)
“To be buried in lava and not turn a hair, it is then a man shows what stuff he is made of.”
Samuel Beckett (Irish Novelist & Playwright; April 13th, 1906 to December 22nd, 1989)
“When in doubt throw it away. You don’t need it. You don’t want it. You forgot you even had it, so don’t keep it. No, it will not come in handy some day. Furthermore, you do not, under any circumstances, want the contents of your junk drawers ending up being thrown into ‘junk boxes’.”
“So uncanny how we are actually in the throws of sorting boxes from storage to choose what to keep and what to discard or donate. It is a lot of work AND invigorating to live more simply.”

“This was the first X-rated film to win an academy award. Way ahead of its time. Very disturbing film with the skid row type lifestyle. People living desperately when no other options exist. I thought this film was great and might not see it again due to its depressing and dark nature. However, I highly recommend it if you have never seen it. To be honest, I had never seen it until now and glad I did. Voight and Hoffman’s characters were amazing. Superb acting!”
