intuitive vs. rational ... Albert Einstein

The intuitive mind is
 a sacred gift 
and the rational mind 
is a faithful servant. 
We have created 
a society that honors 
the servant 
but 
has forgotten the gift.

a fond memory ... Charles Kuralt

When I was a little boy
 I used to borrow 
my father's hat, 
and make a press card
 to stick in the hat band. 
That was the way reporters 
were always portrayed 
in the movies.

leap, jump, imagine ... Gloria Steinem


Without leaps of 
imagination or dreaming, 
we lose the excitement 
of possibilities. 
Dreaming, after all, 
is a form of planning.

Water is to me,
I confess,
a phenomenon which
continually awakens
new feelings of wonder
as often as I view it.
