Mincing footsteps

Mincing footsteps

With mincing footsteps, this Mourning Dove walked across the shed roof, tolerating my standing about ten feet away, watching and photographing. Patience, slow movements, and gentle enjoyment were the keys.

Tolerance and forgiveness

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner. -Nelson Mandela, activist, South African president, Nobel Peace Prize (1918-2013)

A great, great man is gone. He leaves a legacy and an example of forgiveness and of tolerance that all of us – black, white, brown, red, Republican, Democrat, Tory, Liberal, man,woman – that each of us should strive to emulateImage.
