This right here....has been my lastest obsession....these pine cones, pine needles and leaves......why, you might ask.....

i have no clue.

they look sharp...and uncomfortable...

but really...they seem like a soft place land since the pine needles cover the road in front of my house...

I guess like I try and be...a soft place in and next to a hard place to be...

"There is no single definition of holiness. There are dozens, hundreds. But there is one that I am particulary fond of; being holy means getting up immediately every time you fall with humility and joy. It doesn't mean ever falling into sin. It means being able to say "Yes, Lord, I have fallen a thousand times. But thanks to you I have got up again a thousand and one times". That's all. I like thinking about that." ~ Helder Camara
