Sunset in the Plateau, Montreal, Quebec

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. Woodrow Wilson

This photo was taken last St. Patrick’s Day in at the parade in downtown Montreal. You can’t read the front of this costume, but it says Guinness! I took the personality test btw at Guinness.com and I am a Deep Thinker…

To be able to be caught up into the world of thought — that is being educated. Edith Hamilton

These photos were sent to me by a close friend, of her son that has been sent to Kuwait. For her and her son, I wish for PEACE.





Your Primary Responsibility
A friend confided in me that he was struggling to understand his responsibility in a world obsessed with war. I told him the answer is simple: choose peace.

While you cannot control the attitudes or actions of politicians or others, you have total control over the thoughts, feelings, and energy you are exuding. If you are steeped in fear, anger, a sense of victimization, or separateness, you are contributing to the darkness. If you hold a sense of peace, wholeness, compassion, kindness, and the presence of love, you are contributing to healing. As Kipling nobly penned, “If you can hold your head when all about you are losing theirs. . ‘

A visionary thrives under all circumstances, for he or she sees beyond the obvious. At this time the world needs good visionaries. If you would save the world, begin with your own consciousness.
