There are people in my life
who love, nurture, inspire, encourage,
support, communicate, share and flow with me
through the river of life experiences...
I try to acknowledge them daily
though they do what they do
because that’s who they are...
in moments when I feel serene
I realize more than ever
that I need to tell them everyday
how much they mean to me
and how much I love them
like life itself…

Happiness is a direction, not a place. -Sydney J. Harris

Cathedral Canyon accessed from Lake Powell in Utah is so narrow in some places you can almost reach out and touch the canyon walls. Top of the mesa in the distance is about 1500' above the water level.

Sunrise this morning on a golf course where I live.

My thoughts turned to the many mentors and role models we each have during our formative years. Like many young people who grew up in the latter part of the 20th century one of mine was Paul Newman. His generosity of spirit and contributions to the larger community appealed to me as did his determination to listen to the beat of his own drummer and act upon that cadence. As we mourn his passing we honor his character and exceptional accomplishments.

A final tribute is best left to his wife, Joanne Woodward, who said of him recently;

"Sexiness wears thin after awhile and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat!"

May he rest in peace.

There is beauty in a scar
and stories of a past
so eloquently reminding us
few things ever last

and too a natural healing
in earth and human flesh
that never want for rain or love
to assuage fond remembrances.

Rain mists lift to reveal the little Colorado River near the Grand Canyon

The greatest explorer on this earth never takes voyages as long as those of the man who descends to the depth of his heart. - Julien Green
