*John O’Donohue, an Irishman from County Clare, was a priest and writer, philosopher and poet, environmental activist, life teacher, speaker and humanist. With Anam Cara, Eternal Echoes and Divine Beauty he wrote world bestsellers. He loved human existence in all its facets. His most important topic was to live life to the fullest without fear. To him, the maximum transgression of being human was the unlived life. -irland news, markus bauchle

We have a small river just across the road from our house. I have spent a great deal of time during the past 14 years simply watching it flow.
Best wishes, Pete.

It’s nice to have water nearby. It just calms the entire surroundings!
On an unrelated note, I read that Michigan has an outbreak of explosive 💩 parasite. Stay safe!

I agree, and yes about the parasite, my sister is arriving Arizona and is a little bit worried about it :-)💥
