THE SILENT GUN: August 2011

My sister's apartment has a pretty amazing view. On a beautiful day (like today), this is what you see when you step out on the roof deck.

The view -

The necessities -

The sky -

"Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing."

Stunning play of darkness and light.

“I used to think I knew everything. I was a “smart person” who “got things done,” and because of that, the higher I climbed, the more I could look down and scoff at what seemed silly or simple, even religion. But I realized something as I drove home that night: that I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier. And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything, because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain, no matter how smart or accomplished - they cry, they yearn, they hurt. But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things: comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.” -Mitch Albom
