By Ted Grussing
… a quiet end to the week whilst the winds blow fiercely … tulips bringing beauty and peace. A good image to start or end the day … be still my soul.

I finally got the runway shot today with light on the rocks, clouds in the sky and the unlimited number of places that a run down that mile of runway will take you. Somewhere, sometime, someone told me that runways are the shortest roads to everywhere in the world. I like that idea. Wish I had a photo of me taking the shots as I was at the top of an eight foot ladder which was perched on the flat bed of John’s pickup. The wind was gusty and gusts were in the vicinity of 30 knots … John was holding onto the ladder for me, else it felt like a gust could have knocked it over. It was fun and I got the shot!
I got my shipment of books and will begin sending signed copies out tomorrow. If you want a signed copy, email me. If you prefer to buy on Amazon go here: https://www.amazon.com/Just-Moment-Time-through-Grussing/dp/0578488442/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=grussing&qid=1554970372&s=gateway&sr=8-2 . Amazon has the look inside feature up now, so you can see a little of what is in the book.

A bird flies through the sky, and I fly with it. I am each pearl of moisture sparkling in the sun.
I lie lazy on the clouds. And I acknowledge my kinship with each winged thing.
I see all as one, and nothing repels me, as this new day climbs noiselessly out of the valley of the night.
Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.
— Max Ehrmann
