Shadows
It’s said that when we die, the four elements — earth, air, fire and water — dissolve one by one, each into the other, and finally just dissolve into space. But while we’re living, we share the energy that makes everything, from a blade of grass to an elephant, grow and live and then inevitably wear out and die. This energy, this life force, creates the whole world.

Lake effect clouds streaming in
Yesterday afternoon brought a beautiful mix of clouds, sunshine, and lake effect snow. I was so busy posting leftovers that I didn’t get around to looking at the photos from my walk. That has turned out to be a good thing because I don’t have time to upload and sort through the photos from today’s walk.
