Quotes
“Make it simple, but significant.” -— Don Draper (Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”)
“And yes, I still am terrified every day. Yet fear can be love trying its best in the dark. So do not fear your fear. Own it. Free it. This isn’t a liberation that I or anyone can give you — it’s a power you must look for, learn, love, lead and locate for yourself.
Why? The truth is, hope isn’t a promise we give. It’s a promise we live. Tell it like this, and we, like our words, will not rest.” — Amanda Gorman, NY Times, Jan. 20, 2022, “Why I Almost Didn’t Read My Poem at the Inauguration”
“Imagination! Here, you learn what it is to be human. You are a creator of order, of beautiful shapes and systems, an organizer of chaos.” — Frank Herbert

Fog and Trees. I liked the way trees appeared in the morning mist and fog on the Florida prairie. I was thinking of making a project out of it, but ran out of time before there was sufficient cooperative weather.
