"WHAT LIES BEHIND US, AND WHAT LIES BEFORE US, ARE TINY MATTERS COMPARED TO WHAT LIES WITHIN US." ralph waldo emerson

I once read that..."January is a stretch of peace when one lives in the moment, forced by weather or whim, to sit still and do some accounting...
It is telling that this is a month named for a Roman god who looked both forward and backward...
If you can't go out, perhaps you can find yourself within."

It can be a quiet time to listen to the whispers of one's HEART... 

...a time to pause, to dream, to reflect,

to photograph the beauty of a single moment... 

And, it can be a time to add extravagant simplicity and graceful elegance to the ordinary of our lives...
