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
Perdonatemi, ma -come si sa- la carne è debole e l'ego, qualche volta- prende il sopravvento!
[Foto di Paolo Mezzetti]
Forgive me ... but the flesh is weak and the ego -sometimes- takes over!
You come across an old typewriter, perhaps in a junk shop. No-one else is around. You have an opportunity to type a few words on the paper, anonymously. What will you write?
"..because nothing makes me happier
and nothing makes me sadder than you.."
Quotation from The History Of Love by Nicole Krauss

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.

Happy Caturday 11.8.2018 "Quotations"
Neighbours Snoop dines like a real gentleman
"Dinner for one" is the most played skizze in german TV - no silvester without it:-)
It was listed in 1988 in the Guinness Book of Records as "the world's most frequently repeated television production".
"Everglow"is about the feeling of warmth or happiness that comes with the sadness you feel when you think about a relationship, situation, or friendship that has now ended or will do someday, but I truly believe that the seeds of love, hope and peace we plant in this world will follow us into the next and the end is not the end, but the beginning of something new; something beautiful and when we look back, we will see that what we have sown we will reap … “ - excerpt from a short story, “Goodbye to H” - AP
Dedicated to my dear friend, Julie who brought me back … you and your Mum are in my thoughts and prayers xx

EVERGLOW - COLDPLAY
The closer we look the more we find
each precious drop; a diamond from Heaven
each tiny thorn; a poignant reminder
that all have a purpose in this world of ours
sitting in my enchanted garden
a snail coiled beautifully next to me
his iridescent glowing colours
a reminder of life's constancy
overhead the wind blows softly
the pink quince flowers on the bowers
softly blushing against the blue
clear skies always a kind reminder
that Heaven is near and all around you
each step we take a subtleness settles
on gentle shoulders filled with love
your countenance like the beautiful flowers
you photograph; bring peace like a morning dove
no need to thank me for my words
it is I who should be thanking you
and I do my friend with all my heart
for it is your words that brought me back and through
you see the darkness had descended on me
a betrayal by a very close friend
and I could only find words of sadness
but you changed all that; with the words you sent
so here I am in my Heavenly garden
writing these words that you deserve
and praying for you and your dear beloved
mother who brought an angel here to earth
each day is a miracle; each moment a blessing
and no-one knows how our stories end
but while we are here, we should be kind and loving
just like you my sweet, caring friend
I suffered betrayal at the hands of another
but I won't lose hope; I keep open my heart
for an end is not the end of our story
we go on; we live; we love; we start
right back at the beginning
when innocence was bliss
like the first Spring flower on a misty morning
and the sweetness of our very first kiss
our journey in this life may draw to a close
but the suffering we learned from
like the very first rose
we overcame and we blossomed
we gave it our all
and this day hope resurfaced
and we didn't fall.

"The artist is the confidant of nature,
flowers carry on dialogues with him
through the graceful bending of their stems
and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms.
Every flower has a cordial word
which nature directs towards him."
~ Auguste Rodin ~
A quotation from Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) - who probably knew a thing or two about courage.
Texture from Cheryl Tarrant. Thank you.
Today I made a fragrant sachet from some of our dried lavender plants and recently purchased trims, applied to a recycled white scarf and a patch of luscious wool from a vacation in Maine.
Will be sending this off to my oldest living childhood friend in Pennsylvania with birthday wishes and appreciation for our 68 years of staying in touch!
Interesting concept:
"The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death
in some hidden, mysterious realm;
on the contrary,
it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life
and by living in the here and now
as fully and creatively as we can."
~Paul Kurtz~
(I wonder how Mr, Kurtz can be so sure of this! Definitely something to ponder! Whatever, I do try to live fully and creatively in the here and now!)
I do know that my sister's dearest friend, who passed away only last week, was guiding me through the garden yesterday with serendipitous inspirations! As I placed a gorgeous pink hydrangea next to our flamingo, I had NO idea Janet was crazy about such whimsical garden sculptures! My sister was in disbelief when I forwarded a pic to her, along with an amazing poem on Flamingo Spirit!
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
"Camouflage is a game we all like to play,
but our secrets are as surely revealed
by what we want to seem to be
as by what we want to conceal."
~ Russell Lynes ~
Interesting, I had no idea who was famous for this quotation until
I looked up Russell Lynes in Wikipedia and discovered
he was "an American art historian, photographer, author and managing editor of Harper's Magazine."
You learn something new every day!
"Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth."

Love grows when we work at it.
Love overlooks a multitudes of faults.
Love will bring us together.
Love finds away to get together.
Love will keep us together.

Movie: The Imitation Game
(I used a photo of a calculator keypad, taken today, to produce all the numbers shown. This was processed with one of my own textures from a photo of the sea as I wanted a dreamy effect.)
ODC "movie quote"
"The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on."
~~ Carl Sandburg
Quotations from Augustine of Hippo, asking for God's enlightenment. The second quote refers to:
James 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. (World English Bible, public domain.)
Thanks for looking!
