"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."

The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.
Oscar Wilde
No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.
Ansel Adams
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

„The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them.“ – Paulo Coelho
“A szem a lélek tükre, és visszatükröz mindent, ami rejtve van. De a belülről fakadó ragyogáson kívül más szerepe is van a szemnek: kifelé is tükörként működik. Azt is visszatükrözi, aki belenéz.” - Paulo Coelho

Weather
We are coming to the time of year when we have storms in Florida, some can be serious, I hope that we do not experience one!
Life
Storms don't only come in the form of weather they also come in the ups and downs of living.
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature. -
Paulo Coelho
“There's always another storm. It's the way the world works. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms. Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on whats brewing for tomorrow.” -
Maria V. Snyder, Fire Study
When a storm is coming
all other birds seek shelter.
The eagle alone avoids
the storm by flying above it.
So, in the storms of life…
May your heart soar like an Eagle. - Anonymous
When passing through
the storms of life,
please remember:
1. It could be worse.
2. It will get better
Stay strong, focus on what you can do, not what you cannot,
and know that the clouds will soon part, and the sun will return again. - Doe Zantamata
Don’t confuse your path with
your destination. Just because
it’s stormy now doesn’t mean that you aren’t headed for sunshine. - Anonymous
If you want to see the sunshine,
you have to weather the storm. -
Frank Lane
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
“His way isn't the same as mine, nor mine as his. But we're both in search of our destinies, and I respect him for that.”
- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
True belonging is not passive. It's not the belonging that comes with just joining a group. It's not fitting in or pretending or selling out because it's safer. It's a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are.
Dr. Brené Brown
Belongingness entails an unwavering commitment to not simply tolerating and respecting difference, but to ensuring that all people are welcome and feel that they belong.
John A. Powell
Today, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Theresa, Saint Teresa of Calcutta
The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don't talk anymore, they don't sit down to talk and listen. They go to the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, update their status on the internet, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories
Paulo Coelho
We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, ‘It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
Fred Rogers
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
When we choose to wonder about people we don’t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us.
Valarie Kaur
We must remain hopeful that a universal ethic of courage, caring, sharing, respect, radical compassion, and love will make a difference. We can never be too generous or too kind.
Marc Bekoff
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life — whoever you are, whatever our differences.

Imagination will take you everywhere. - Albert Einstein

Imagination has no age.

Tinker Bell
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. - Dr. Seuss
(I know that I have used this before but I so love the quote)!
Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. - Louisa May Alcott
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere. -
Carl Sagan
Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. - Francis of Assisi
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.-

Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.
Karl Marx
The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right.
Peter Marshall
Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
John F. Kennedy
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
Paulo Coelho, “Eleven Minutes”
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Martin Luther King Jr.
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Today I want to honor my beloved Brazil!
Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here – a week, two weeks – you get in the vibe. It’s really intoxicating.
Francisco Costa
The most beautiful thing about Brazil that I always find that is so unlike any other place I’ve been in the world is the diversity of its people.
Gisele Bundchen
They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I’ve ever seen.
Morena Baccarin
Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!
Pele
Brazil has people in some places with such difficult situations. They prefer to smile than cry because they love life. They love to be happy. That’s Brazilian style.
David Luiz
Brazil is my way to see the world. Being born in that country means: you don’t have a wall separating the physical reality from the magical reality.
Paulo Coelho
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Inspired by Narcissus’ story, but first let’s pretend that it’s a lake and she is by the banks (or not). But mostly this is "patterned" on the other ending of that story.
“…when Narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.
“Why do you weep?” the goddesses asked.
“I weep for Narcissus,” the lake replied.
“Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus,” they said, “for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.”
“But…was Narcissus beautiful? The lake asked.
“Who better than you know that?” the goddesses said in wonder. “After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself!”
The lake was silent for some time. Finally it said:
“I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.”
-From The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)

One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now. (Paulo Coelho) -- visit 20161204
When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognise the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.

“When we love and believe in something from the bottom of our soul, we feel stronger than the world and we are imbued with a serenity that comes from the certainty that nothing can conquer our faith. This strange force makes us always make the right decisions at the right time, and we are surprised at our own capacity when we fulfill our objective.”
~Paulo Coelho
Schubert/Liszt - Die Taubenpost (The Pigeon Post)
Happy Listening my friends :)

**Pigeon messages
I have a carrier-pigeon in my pay
Who is devoted and true.
She never stops short of her goal,
And never flies too far.
I send her a thousand times
Out every day to gather information
Past many a beloved spot
To my beloved’s house.
There she peeps in at the window,
Spying out every look and step,
Gives my greetings playfully
And brings hers to me.
I needn’t write a note any longer,
My very tears I give her:
She will not misdeliver them,
So earnestly does she serve me.
By day, by night, in waking, in dreaming,
They are all the same to her,
So long as she can wander,
She is more than satisfied!
She never becomes tired, she never grows exhausted,
The route always feels new;
She needs no enticement, needs no reward,
This pigeon is so true to me.
And so I cherish her truly in my heart,
Certain of the fairest prize;
Her name – Longing! Do you know her?
The messenger of constancy.

Hmong, Sapa -- We are planting the Rice now.
Hmong people are highly intelligent, resourceful and survivors in high altitudes and with little resources. They live off the land and at the same time in harmony with the land. They are animistic and believe everything has a soul, a stone, a rice paddy, a mountain. People have several souls.
The planning season is almost over now. In the next few month, until harvest in September – October, they will tend the fields; watching water levels, weeding, fertilizing, guarding against animals and birds eating or spoiling the crop. Let us all pray for them to have a bountiful harvest. They really need it… to survive.
The Black Hmong are the 3rd largest minority in Vietnam with nearly 900,000 people. In the Sapa region there are about 35,000 Black Hmong residing in the surrounding 17 villages and they account for about 50% of the area population. The Hmong started migrating to Vietnam from China in the last 300 years. They live of the land and believe in the spirits.
Next time you buy a bag of rice… think about how millions of people in the world work for it…
"Human beings weren’t made solely to go in search of wisdom, but also to plough the land, wait for rain, plant the rice, harvest the grain, make the bread.”
Paulo Coelho

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” PC

"Le cose più semplici sono le più straordinarie, e soltanto un saggio riesce a vederle"
(Paulo Coelho)
With the memory of my friend on my heart this season, this quote obviously stood out to me. I am never one to sit still or sit idle, and the reasons for that are partly because I know time is short and tomorrow is never guaranteed. If I could invent and expand time I would, but only so I could do more I think!
