Life Around The World

I just love this picture because it represents so well the richness of the Atlantic Rain Forest in a single branch... The marvelous Red-necked Tanager (female), the liquens, the fern, all so full of life... Unfortunately there is less than 5% of the original Atlantic Rain Forest and it is always under threat for numerous reasons. We must protect this delicate and fragile environment.
Have a nice Friday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

“If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.”
Quote ― Viktor Frankl
“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.”
Quote ― Joseph Campbell
HMT
"With life I get involved.
I suffer if it is to suffer,
I celebrate if there's a reason,
love without guarantees,
mistake the path, correct whatever is possible,
I lose with the same dignity with which I gain.
Because the only thing I don't want to take with me is the misfortune of not having enjoyed every second of the adventure of being who I am."(Pe Fabio de Melo)

CIRCLES OF LIFE
Everything
Turns,
Rotates,
Spins,
Circles,
Loops,
Pulsates,
Resonates,
And
Repeats.
Circles
Of life,
Born from
Pulses
Of light,
Vibrate
To
Breathe,
While
Spiraling
Outwards
For
Infinity
Through
The lens
Of time,
And into
A sea
Of stars
And
Lucid
Dreams.
Poem ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
Dalai Lama
When floating through life, it's good to find a lifeline.
Life is like a carousel; winding, uphill, downhill, you suffer, have fun and love.
There is limited time in the carousel.
In life, sometimes, time is wasted as if the ride never ends.
For Macro Monday's "New" theme.
The front lawn here has been overrun by these tiny little native violets for near 10 years now. About twice a year I mow them, sadly, which I did recently. Quite fitting that at the start of a new year, a few of the violets having start to grow back - new life. This little fellow was about 5mm across. The meek shall inherit the lawn?
Happy new week out there, hope the post Christmas/New Year hangovers have all dissipated.
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”
― Mike Norton

We saw a fantastic concert last night by Ian Felice, and this was one of the standout songs he performed, though they were all superb. It is a wonderful life, and it's important to make the most of it.
Thanks for your visit and comments, my friends. In these demanding times, we have to find some bright spots in everyday life. The light has always been there, and it will guide us. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy):
I traveled on Tonle Sap in a very “basic” boat, and was fortunate to find a local boatman, who was able to take me close to shore and “beach” the boat several times so I could see life there as it really was. The family living here supplemented their income by raising pigs seen center foreground. Some were kept in very small crates, others allowed to walk freely in the space between houses. Some of the crates were constructed so they would float tethered to the main home when the lake waters rose to the level of the houses. Because of the change in water levels as the water flows in and out of the Mekong, the houses on the lake are built on stilts to allow for the 8-9 meter rise in the water level during the rainy season.
As I sat and pondered my life one day, waves of sorrow and joy came my way.
Acknowledging each one that passed by, they would make me laugh, sing, or cry.
My life is very colorful, genuine, and true. My life is fulling in some ways; both old and new.
Each day is a gift on these waves. Each day I pursue what I crave.
May you all use this time given to reflect, grow, and invite beauty into your soul.
I hope you are all well and safe on these ever moving waters of life. I look forward to visiting your part of the pond.
Thank you for your support, favs and kind comments. They and you are appreciated.
