About Me
- Laura Headley
- "It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from."
Moon River
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end-- waiting 'round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me.

I love it! Chesterton is the man - perfect quote and quite ironic. Extremely well put and a perfect visual in my opinion.
I'm giving 10/10 if that makes any difference :-) .
Hey - this was very engaging. I actually thought it might be more effective truncated. I liked the first set of images and the Chesterton quote. I'd suggest stopping there for effect. I couldn't really read the other two quotes -- is there a way to enlarge the screen?
Thank you Mrs. Bell and Ashton.
Mrs. Bell, I am not sure if there is a way to make the video larger. I can play around with it and try to figure it out, but I am not the most technologically savvy person. However, I can tell you what the other two quotes were.
The second quote on the picture of the grain of sand was:
"For look! Within my hollow hand,
While round the earth careens,
I hold a single grain of sand
And wonder what it means.
Ah! If I had the eyes to see,
And brain to understand,
I think Life's mystery might be
Solved in this grain of sand."
- Robert W. Service
The last quote on the picture of C. S. Lewis was:
"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see."
- C. S. (Jack) Lewis
I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the advice to shorten it.
