    … I received a request for a winter photo of the golf course and going through that folder I came upon this shot down by the clubhouse looking to the SW with the lake and foot prints in the snow left by a person on an early morning walk. I was reminded of a poem by Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, and others which put me into places of solitude and quiet … so tonight, a poem and a prayer, the poem from Frost and the prayer from Ehrmann … you can place yourself in either or both of them … the photograph sets the mood.

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.

    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there is some mistake.
    The only other sound’s the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    — Robert Frost

    A Winter Prayer

    Cold lies the lifeless earth, the birds are gone,
    and through the naked trees the shrill wind whistles.

    Sedona Gift Shop

    Though the world outside be chill and dead, may the world
    within us resound with gleeful songs, and the chambers of our hearts
    be warm with hope and love.

    And may many an evenings merriment, beside the hearthstone’s cheerful glow,
    make sweet the passing time.

    — Max Ehrmann

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing and smiling. We are here today and that is all that matters!

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
