beauty and bread

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”    John Muir

Thank you John Muir, for your wise, wise words.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.  And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”     Harold Whitman

I love to read biographies –  the people who have touched me the most art the ones who marched to the beat of their own drum – people like George W. Carver, John Muir, Etty Hillesum, Rich Mullins . . .  Also people in my own life like Carol and Roy who left behind a beautiful home in Los Osos and moved to Israel – and Steve, Jenny, Tricia, Carly and more who inspire me by their dedication and passion and have taken the road less traveled.
