Daily Inspiration: Henry David Thoreau

Low-Anchored Cloud

Low-anchored cloud,

Newfoundland air,

Fountain-head and source of rivers,

Dew-cloth, dream-drapery,

And napkin spread by fays;

Drifting meadow of the air,

Where bloom the daisied banks and violets,

And in whose fenny labyrinth

The bittern booms and heron wades;

Spirit of lakes and seas and rivers,

Bear only perfumes and the scent

Of healing herbs to just men’s fields!

Henry David Thoreau

Daily Inspiration: Carl Sandburg

Happiness

I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.

And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men.

They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them

And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines river

And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion.

Carl Sandburg

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

T.E. Lawrence

Photo Gallery: The Art of Matthew Sullivan

I had to share the work of a great photographer that I found on Flickr! I originally came across his work when looking for a picture for an upcoming article. As I looked through the amazing collection of photos that Matthew has on Flickr - I just had to feature a portion of them in a post of their own. Enjoy!

“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart… Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”

Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

My Country Awake

Where the mind is without fear and the head held high; Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Rabindranath Tagore
