Orange Thoughts - Missoula, Montana

"I feel a little dizzy," said Orion. "But also wonderfully elated. I feel that I am on the verge of finding a rhyme for the word orange."

Global Graffiti - Missoula, Montana

"Weeds are nature's graffiti." ~ Janice Maeditere

“So it is with life. 

Those thorns, the prickly problems of life, cause us to strive to rise above them and then, as we do, we learn. 

We learn to exercise true compassion, true kindness - or the thorns, if we let them, cause us to brood, to mourn over our trials. Then we plant the seeds of bitterness, hate, and ruin - weeds. 

We may reach up for the rose or down to the weeds...the weeds in life that tangle us, strangle us, and cause us to lose hope.” - James Michael Pratt
