… from Earth, Katie and me, a very Happy Valentine’s Day to you … the day dedicated to expressions of love and appreciation of those whom we love and care about. Live it and love the life given to you and all who are close to you … the day you are in is all that you have so make it count!
The photo above is of Sunset Crater north of Flagstaff off of US 89 The eastern part of the volcanic cone collapsed sometime in the last hundreds of years creating a heart shaped cone when viewed from the west. In the foreground is the parking lot and the trail head for hiking along the base of the cone which is about a thousand feet above base elevation. It is the result of the most recent volcanic eruptions on the San Francisco Volcanic Field … circa 1085 AD or CA depending on your preference. More eruptions will be following … hope it is during my lifetime, how cool would that be. Meanwhile we are moving westward at something over an inch a year.
The image below is of a porcelain sculpture a friend gave me some years ago … Justice … one of my favorites and glad I took photos of it because it was bumped a few years ago and was not reparable.
Have a beautiful day … smile … keep breathing and make it a special day for those whom you love and care about.
With Joy!
Ted
I sat with the stars on the hill of life
And looked at the world below.
Iran with the winds where winds begin
And followed them where they blow.
I lay by the sea on the beaten rock
And rode the farthest wave,
I watched by a child on its night of birth
And followed it to its grave.
And love in the still of the star-flecked night,
When earth was all strewn with gold,
Has lifted my heart like the chords of song
Oft sung in the worlds of old.
And though I have not understood all this,
Made up a laugh and a wail,
I think the God of the world knows all,
And someday will tell the tale.
