Seasonal changes cause many things. During the storms, reach out and be kind to those in need.
✈️ : Longing Melody
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be alright
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become my purpose
'Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface
Hmmm... as I sat there thinking in the chilly winter evening.. what should 2023 bring.. what are my resolutions... ponders this...
I know what my resolutions are, do you? :)
Wishing you all A Happy New Year!
🎼: Cigarettes and Alcohol ~ Oasis ~
✈️ : Astoria 2022
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top...
You gotta make it happen!
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!
The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled
Enjoy your weekend...be sure to take sometime for yourself and just breathe.
Kind regards from your friend,
Christie
Sometimes you have to stop, take that breath, let go of the past, and allow the future to come in. Relax and let go of the bad and embrace the good, each day is a new day.
✈️ : Aoi-ike
I'm writing the future
I'm writing it out, loud.
We don't talk about the past
We don't talk about the past, now
So I'm writing the future
I'm leaving a key here
Something won't always be missing
It won't always feel empty, here
Just think of the future
And think of your dreams
You'll get away from here
You'll get away eventually
So just think of your future
Think of a new life
Don't get lost in the memories
Keep your eyes on a new prize
I can't stop this feeling. the smiling won't stop...
🎼: Got this Feeling~ Justin Timberlake~
✈️ : LeMonde Perdu
Everybody sing
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Wanna see you move your body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
Break it down
Got this feeling in my body
Can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
“If you want to fly in the sky, you need to leave the earth. If you want to move forward, you need to let go the past that drags you down.” – Amit Ray
New beginnings are a sure way to start a new life. The willingness to persevere surely goes a long way, especially if you find your inner peace. To start over this new year, you need to stay focused, have inner peace, create a positive attitude, and be passionate about your dreams.
Hoping for great new beginnings for all of you.

Looking up, catching a dream and snowflake or two.

✈️ : Paradise on the sea
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But, there's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments, that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

Peace is liberty in tranquility.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.
Dalai Lama
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace can become a lens through which you see the world. Be it. Live it. Radiate it out. Peace is an inside job.
Wayne Dyer
Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
John F. Kennedy
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
Albert Einstein
If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes, and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors.
Frank Sinatra
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Serenity is maintaining a sense of inner peace even in difficult situations. We gain serenity by accepting the things we cannot change and focusing our energy where we can make a difference.
Fear, anger or desire can create a sense of urgency that triggers us to react impulsively. When this happens, we risk undermining our goals, damaging relationships--even violating our deepest values. By contrast, when we cultivate serenity, we don’t fear our emotions, but we do keep them in balance. We govern ourselves rather than being ruled by external circumstances and our feelings about them.
Meditative practices, contemplation, physical exercise and self-regulation skills all can help us to maintain a serene, peaceful state of mind. This mental state in turn frees us to live thoughtfully and intentionally. When we hold onto our own sense of serenity, we help others to keep theirs.

For this second last theme of the year…peace…I have photographed Otis and Fleur again in a festive setting.
For me, the holiday season is about peace, giving and forgiving, and inner joy. I don't want gifts for Christmas - what I want is world peace. I know that's asking a lot, and I don't expect it to happen, but we can start small. We can smile at others as they walk by - just a smile will often melt a heart and make someone's day. We can accept others as they are, even if they are completely different from us. We can respect others, because each of us expects to be respected. We can be positive, and live each moment to its fullest, as we really don't know if it is our last. And we can love without expecting anything in return. I believe that all these things will bring inner peace, and that's a start. It's not easy, but it's a goal to work towards.
Rumi said, "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
That's my philosophical post for the year….
Ich finde, es ist ein schöner Ort 😄
INNER PEACE is the topic for Friday, February 4, 2022 Group Our Daily Challenge.
Being in nature with my camera brings me relaxation and inner peace
Daytime long exposure picture (13 stops filter) taken on the beach of Blankenberge next to the harbour entrance.
Beautifull day, sun was just coming through...
I don't like fishing, but I can sit on this dock for half an hour and enjoy watching the fish and ducks. The autumn reflections in the canal water are breathtaking. Perfect for those of us who seek those moments of peace, in communion with nature. Have a beautiful weekend! ❣
Smile on Saturday: "Display the D..."

In my minds eye I see, you have no control of me. The internal will of freedom is set free, this I truly know to be. This is in my mind, you cannot control me, you see!
"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun."
—Sandy Gingras
The tide was rising and the sea was rough. Between the waves crashing against the rocks and feeling the sea breeze, I felt great inner peace.
◾(I'm only posting photos from my vacations and old photos, for now. My right wrist is recovering from a sprain. I'll be fine soon.)
Perched in quiet majesty, the long-tailed macaque seems to pause time itself. In this fleeting moment, caught between instinct and awareness, a flicker of understanding stirs behind the eyes. This portrait reminds us that presence — in any form — is the first step toward enlightenment.
Always chase your dreams. Chase the sun. Look for the good, embrace it. Acknowledge the bad but let it go and embrace the beauty around you.
“It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” —L.M. Montgomery
"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you." —Lao Tzu

🎼: Chasing the Sun ~The Wanted~
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you'll find us chasing the sun
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you'll find us chasing the sun
And when the daylight's fadin'
We're gonna play in the dark 'til it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can't see it coming, I will never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun
“You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.”
― Buddha
“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally,” says Jon Kabat-Zinn.
While mindfulness is something we all naturally possess, it’s more readily available to us when we practice on a daily basis.
I discovered the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) a few months ago and followed the 8 weeks program.
Over these 8 weeks I felt happier and more centered. I am definetely more compassionate with myself, and my communication has gotten clearer with those around me. The most amazing part for me is that I wake up in the morning overhelmed by an unexpected joy and noticing things I have not prior because I was focusing on the past or future. This course has been an amazing experience to me, it made my heart feel lighter, my mind open and my soul more at peace.Through everyday's meditation practice I learned to "inhabit my life" differently. A true gift! I am so grateful to this program and to my beloved teacher Myrto Legaki!

My opinion about the world of war:
Unfortunately, there is war in the world and there are not only tensions around Russia and Ukraine. I think it is good to reflect in these times of evil. Then there are also tensions between North Korea and Pakistan over diplomats and alcohol. Well, two nuclear powers arguing about alcohol, I really don't understand it at all. Everybody knows about the conflict with China, Taiwan and the possible interference of the United States. In my native India, a few years ago a conflict arose between India and China around the border of China and the Himalaya area, which also should certainly not be underestimated. In addition, China has been expanding naval activties in the Indian Ocean in recent decades and that is also of great concern. India, with the fourth largest army in the world and as for the amount of active soldiers the 2nd one in the world, is modernizing the old materials in the different army units to prepare for a possible war with China and Pakistan. The most of the better equipment comes from Russia. I say, enjoy nature like in this picture. What are we talking about, national borders. The earth belongs to everyone and by a small group of leaders of countries, innocent people are being massacred around borders that are really only imaginary. The so-called good countries in the world have also done the most terrible things under the guise of ‘peace missions’ in the past to depose the regimes that they themselves have put down there after a regime change, whereby the arms industry and the oil industry are the only real winners. If the rich people who pay the campaigns of our politicians have shares in such companies, well you can ask yourself, what interests do our politicians actually serve? In short, my opinion is that a lot of leaders have blood on their hands in terms of history and the dividing line between good and evil is not always a straight line. But I only talk about our leaders.The majority of the common population all over the world don’t want war. They want peace and freedom. Over the past few days I have been to places like in the photo a lot. Wandering in nature is great. When I return from walks like these, I then close my eyes and try to regulate my breathing. Yesterday when I had reached my rest for a moment my thoughts went to the people in Ukraine, including the victims. It’s terrible for them. In The Netherlands I also know some sweet Russian people who hate war but are really afraid to step up. Do those sanctions really stop the lust for power or does it make it even bloodier? There is a good chance that many more innocent people will die as a result. In times like this, world peace seems like an utopia, but you can always dream about it
