Swiss Utopia

"The whole world is set up so that for places like Switzerland to exist, that are crime-free and with the best care for everybody, you have to have places like Sudan, or Jamaica. But really, there's enough to share, when you check it. It's not that complicated, really. It's probably less thinking and more feeling that's required." 

Damian Marley

 

Shades of Autumn

And the warm tingle of summer gave way to the crisp bite of fall...

Sunny Reflections

“Try to learn to breathe deeply,

really to taste food when you eat,

and when you sleep really to sleep.

Try as much as possible to be wholly alive

with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell.

And when you get angry, get good and angry.

Try to be alive.

You will be dead soon enough.”

Ernest Hemingway
