A Serene Garden of Green Beauty: A Haiku
The Japanese Garden of Peace is an awe-inspiring place to pause and reflect
“No one will understand a Japanese garden until you’ve walked through one, and you hear the crunch underfoot, and you smell it, and you experience it over time. Now there’s no photograph or any movie that can give you that experience.” — J. Carter Brown

Japanese Garden of Peace
Relax and just breathe
My daughter and I enjoyed a stroll through the Japanese Garden of Peace during a recent visit to the Texas Hill Country. We had the garden all to ourselves and were in awe of its scenic beauty. The garden is small but pristine. It is a beautiful place for peaceful contemplation.

Watching the Rain
“Give thanks for the rain in your life which waters the flowers of your soul.” — John Lockwood Huie As I sit in the office reception area waiting for my daughter to finish up her appointment, I watch the rain fall hard and fast through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
