Circles

He's everywhere

Sometimes put yourself very simply before God, certain of his presence everywhere, and without any effort, whisper very softly to his sacred heart whatever your own heart prompts you to say.
- St. Jeanne de Chantal, co-founder of the Order of the Visitation (1572-1641)

A daughter's Wish

That fathers of yesteryear had access to this resource. Great things could have been created.

A mother's arms

Is the safest place to be. Mothers, do well by your children.

Sights I love...

... the kind that make endorphins flow.

A lifetime is over

She was born here

She started a family here...

lived here...

and ended here.

Adeus, cara mae.

The Court House

My teenage stomping grounds. It screems with history. I'm missing it today.
