night sky

“If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, 
how would men believe and adore; 
and preserve for many generations 
the remembrance of the city of God 
which had been shown!
 But every night come out these envoys of beauty, 
and light the universe 
with their admonishing smile.” 
― Ralph Waldo EmersonNature and Selected Essays

The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
 Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
 They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,

    their words to the ends of the world.

~ King David

courage



watercolor


"Whatever course you decide upon, 
there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.  
There are always difficulties arising 
which tempt you to believe that your critics are right.  
To map out a course of action 
and follow it to an end 
requires courage."


-Ralph Waldo Emerson
