A staircase composition with lines to each of the four corners (German: "Eckenläufer") is what you usually strive for, but it rarely works out.

The word ‘Ramadan’ is derived from the Arabic word Ramdh (رمض), which means, ‘intensely hot’ or ‘burning’. The month of Ramadan is named as such for three reasons:
• One who fasts becomes hot due to thirst.
• Worship and devotion in this month burns away the traces of sin.
• Devotion in this month produces the necessary warmth of love in man for his Creator and fellow beings.

"Lord Jesus, help me to always trust in your saving grace, especially when I am tempted and put to the test. Help me to be faithful to you and give me the courage and strength to resist temptation, especially the temptation to compromise or to be indifferent to your word."

“Everyone strives after the law,” says the man, “so how is that in these many years no one except me has requested entry?” The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, “Here no one else can gain entry, since this entrance was assigned only to you. I’m going now to close it.”

The soul, my unopened flower
With its innocence, it strives towards God
Paving a bright path
It is the source of truth
It opens its petals with nectar
And the enchanting happiness of tenderness
It brings together the parts
Of the sought-for immortality.
My wondrous daisies of white purity
Of the transparent, fresh, and naked essence
My Light within, when at a crossroads.
The source of strength, the song of beauty....

“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.”

Happy Weekend ;-))
Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
La felicità sta nell’assenza della lotta per la felicità.

The most accomplished street artist in Launceston is Kreamart. His identity is unknown (a local version of Banksy), but looking at this work he could well be a professional signwriter.
The message is one we should all take to heart whatever we do.

If you're going to do something, strive to do it better than anyone else. Do it all the way. If you're going to half-ass it, why bother?
[Ashly Lorenzana]
My heart to yours for eternity my sweet one
I love and adore you more than anything
and there I strive to always make you proud and happy.
My heart to yours for eternity
because my heart, my essence and very soul are all yours.
I love you my darling and with true love for you
my heart overflows pure rivers of gold.
You are the most precious thing in this world,
you are it's beauty and in joy that makes me cry.
My heart to yours for eternity because of
the most special and sacred bond that we so deeply share.
Could you feel its power to when we first met?
I think you could but must ask,
I think you did because we are both so very shy
and in so many ways opened up to each other
that with others we could not or would dare not,
all that kept us back was that last bit of shyness
which kept us from saying our love directly,
when we looked at each other though everyone could see it.
It was mentioned to me so very often
and I've always known you are who I cherished and wanted.
My heart to yours for eternity because you
are my Queen and sweet Angel.
You are so darling and my heart melts and sing for thee.
My heart to yours for all eternity because it aches
so very much when you aren't near to me
and when we are not talking.
Even now when I'm smiling I ache and yearn
for the beautiful woman I adore and love,
I pray you are not angry even though I don't feel that you are,
my heart longs to give you sweet kisses
and hold you so close sharing sweet warmth.
My heart to yours for eternity because
you are my dream and only true love,
I want to marry you and be with you for all time.
My heart to yours for eternity because you are my light,
you are my hope, you are my northern star and a diamond in the rough.
My heart is yours and forever it shall be to no end,
My heart to yours singing my favorite songs of love
and writing poetry just for you through eternity my dear.
"Il mare insegna ai marinai sogni che poi i porti spengono." Bernard Giradeau.
Prima o poi bisogna trovare il coraggio di uscire fuori dal porto, per non dimenticare quanto più emozionante è il solcare il mare.
Buona giornata

Effort is noble, yet attachment to results is bondage; pursuit is natural, yet enslavement to desire is illusion.
