Good morning my beautiful DU family,

[JMCKUSICK]

As we rise today, in search of life's bliss,
Let's be for others, that which we sorely miss.
The fastest way to achieve this dream,
Will be to listen, it would seem.
This can be practiced, far and near,
Come to think, I'll start with you my dear.

Have a beautiful day everyone, I'll be listening for another's bliss.
Love, John

9. Good morning, Emile. Thank you so much for your beautiful butterflies and message.

Here’s my all-time fave butterfly quote (for the wood and leather kids’ book that I wood-burned, wrote, and illustrated in the early days of my writing career):

“Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."
— Henry David Thoreau

Have a wonderful day,
