Taken for Caturday theme quotations. The quote is: When you wake up each morning, you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Unless some terrible catastrophe has occurred the night before, it is pretty much up to you. Tomorrow morning, when the sun shines through your window, choose to make it a happy day. Lynda Resnick

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE – ELVIS PRESLEY
Sometimes in life we come full circle
I see a footprint of my beginning
and here I am back at the start
I see the people who tried to stop me winning
but I rise above them; and leave them far behind
I draw a line in shifting, whispering grains of sand
and something deep inside me drives me on
no looking back; I am complete; I understand
sometimes in life we cannot win them over
it's not our job; it's for a greater Hand
and He will guide me on my journey
bring me safely to the shore
where angels sing; rejoice and hold me
and I will not be frightened any more
He sees in us the pain; the human burden
He sees the weight that life and people bring
He knows how much; He knows and He is certain
He will not give us more than we can take
so that in our hearts and souls we'll always sing
and when at last our cup is brimming over
He lays his Hand upon our heads and soothes our brow
and we feel the greatest love that ever found us
and we are comforted and lighter; it is a miracle somehow
and once more we are peaceful
finding joy in simple things
as darkness; shadows and all our plights
are left behind and taken care of;
whisked away on angel's wings
and soon the lines of strain are smoothed; not furrowed
as clouds reveal the stars of wonder and ethereal light
and we begin to live at last the ever after; forget tomorrow
this moment we exist; and in this moment
I am complete; I am content right here, right now.

“Two bubbles found they had rainbows on their curves.
They flickered out saying:
"It was worth being a bubble, just to have held that rainbow thirty seconds.”
― Carl Sandburg

The face of the Olympian Hermes. Just a tiny part of the whole statue. The other parts, represented by Fujifilm boxes, you have to visualise yourself or, since his image is scattered over the world-wide web, you can look it up. Here, I am offering just a visual quotation. It refers to something larger and, at the end of the day, to a long narrative which, in itself, is invisible.

When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.
"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and harmonious tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs to him" ~ August Rodin
Poetography - The word/theme for the week is LEAF/LEAVES..

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a LEAF. By Rabindranath Tagore
"A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love."

For Poetography group: Some topics speak to me more than others and this week is a good example. Our word is leaf, or leaves.
They started cutting down the forest behind our house yesterday to build homes. I hoped this wouldn't happen too soon even though we were told to anticipate it. It's still tough.
“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”

I LOVE QUOTATIONS!
I LOVE the way other people reinforce my thoughts about life.
I LOVE when my photos connect with these thoughts.
Here is a smorgasbord of fun thoughts on DIRECTION ~
“I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived.” ~ Anna Louise Strong ~
BUT . . .
“You can't row a boat in two directions at the same time.” ~ anon ~
HOWEVER, Goethe says:
“I find the great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”
SO REMEMBER TO:
“Keep your head and your heart in the right direction and you'll never have to worry about your feet.”
with all of this being said, I still love the philosophical thoughts of Antoine de Saint-Exupery (The Petite Prince) ~
“A life without love in it is like a heap of ashes upon a deserted hearth. Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
Thoreau: Every part of nature teaches that the passing away of one life is the making room for another.

One more for the Poetography group: This week our topic is "age". I thought the quote went well with this image, since this is one of the things we are doing now that life has slowed down a bit :)

considered a fortunate person, but his good fortune is small
compared to that of the happy mortal who enters this world

Also known as Cranesbill because of it's beak like seed capsule.
Notice the oak tree catkins on the leaves. I have never seen so many of these before. They are everywhere!
"A single oak tree produces both male and female flowers. The male flowers are tiny yellow structures that grow along a slender stalk. The stalked structure is called a catkin. The stalk with its flowers looks a bit like a yellow worm dangling from the tips of the oak branches. The female flowers are small pink to red structures that are also located near the twig tip. The male flowers produce pollen which is carried by wind to female flowers, often on a different tree. The amount of pollen produced by a large oak tree is enormous and the flowers continue producing pollen for several weeks. Unlike flowers that are pollinated by bees or other animals, the pollen of oaks floats freely in the air and is inhaled by people. Many people are allergic to oak pollen and the large amounts and long duration of oak pollen production can make oaks one of the more serious spring allergens."
~ University Of Mount Union
Unfortunately, I am one of those with an allergy to oak pollen.
Mother Nature has the US in her grasp. I hope you are all warm and safe as this continues to pass through our lives.
