"The energy of the mind is the essence of lift." – Aristotle
This quote reminds me to gently wrangle my thoughts, to herd them toward my chosen direction. I love thoughtful reminders.

Crimson threads in silence spun.
Stretch across the waking sun.
The sea reflects in molten gold.
A lighthouse keeps its promise bold.
Shadows flee with fading night.
Each stone glows with morning light.

A fiery dawn at St. Marys Lighthouse in the UK.
