i like clouds and trees and wide open spaces
& a painting of a crow in cowboy boots

i study light
the softening glow in early spring
the sheen in mid summer
the golden shine in fall
filtered through a window
the glow just before sundown
the shadows on a dark street
i celebrate its magic
its ability to inspire
revere its mystique
honor its magnificence
& cherish its source

my beliefs combine
laughter & prayer
& clean fresh food
playgrounds & childhood
simplicity
reading and writing
art & inspiring spaces
commitment, discipline, flexibility

what I value most
good friends
& family
& love
…and all that is truth
