Theo. Roosevelt quote, on a wall, title 'YOUTH': 'I WANT TO SEE YOU GAME BOYS I WANT TO SEE YOU BRAVE AND MANLY AND I ALSO WANT TO SEE YOU GENTLE AND TENDER/ BE PRACTICAL AS WELL AS GENEROUS IN YOUR IDEALS KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE STARS AND KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND/ COURAGE HARD WORK SELF MASTERY AND INTELLIGENT EFFORT ARE ALL ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESSFUL LIFE/ CHARACTER IN THE LONG RUN IS THE DECISIVE FACTOR IN THE LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND OF NATIONS ALIKE'

Theo. Roosevelt quote, on a wall, title 'MANHOOD': 'A MANS USEFULNESS DEPENDS UPON HIS LIVING UP TO HIS IDEALS INSOFAR AS HE CAN/ IT IS HARD TO FAIL BUT IT IS WORSE NEVER TO HAVE TRIED TO SUCCEED/ ALL DARING AND COURAGE ALL IRON ENDURANCE OF MISFORTUNE AMKE FOR A FINER NOBLER TYPE OF MANHOOD/ ONLY THOSE ARE FIT TO LIVE WHO DO NOT FEAR TO DIE AND NONE ARE FIT TO DIE WHO HAVE SHRUNK FROM THE JOY OF LIFE AND THE DUTY OF LIFE'

Theo. Roosevelt quote, on a wall, title 'THE STATE': 'OURS IS A GOVERNMENT OF LIBERTY BY THROUGH AND UNDER THE LAW/ A GREAT DEMOCRACY MUST BE PROGRESSIVE OR IT WILL SOON CEASE TO BE GREAT OR A DEMOCRACY/ AGGRESSIVE FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT IS THE NOBLEST SPORT THE WORLD AFFORDS/ IN POPULAR GOVERNMENT RESULTS WORTH HAVING CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY MEN WHO COMBINE WORTHY IDEALS WITH PRACTICAL GOOD SENSE/ IF I MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE I CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS'

Theo. Roosevelt quote, on a wall, title 'NATURE': 'THERE IS DELIGHT IN THE HARDY LIFE OF TEH OPEN/ THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN TELL THE HIDDEN SPIRIT OF THE WILDERNES THAT CAN REVEAL ITS MYSTERY ITS MELANCHOLY AND ITS CHARM/ THE NATION BEHAVES WELL IF IT TREATS THE NATURAL RESOURCES AS ASSETS WHICH IT MUST TURN OVER TO THE NEXT GENERATION INCREASED AND NOT IMPAIRED IN VALUE/ CONSERVATION MEANS DEVELOPMENT AS MUCH AS IT DOES PROTECTION'

Card with image of a Bodhisattva

A monk gave this to me on the street. (I think he wanted to talk to me but I walked on.)

The Lower North Fork Fire

View from Centennial, Colorado, 26 March 2012.




This photo looks very different from how it looked to me. The sun was so red. I havnt seen anything like it since the Hayman fire (when ash fell from the sky in the middle of Denver). The vast difference between what the camera sees and what the eye sees is shown by the picture below. It is obscured by a cloud of smoke that blew in front of me as I was taking it. However, my own vision was not obscured at all. My eyes could not see that cloud.
