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.."

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

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.

My artwork is a compilation of 4 of my photographs.
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.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 (wide-open).
"That swimming, sloping, elusive something about the dark-bluish tint of the iris which seemed still to retain the shadows it had absorbed of ancient, fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man's mind had been born."
Vladimir Nabokov
There is something wonderful about finding the perfect quotation to accompany a favorite image.
Thanks to Midnight Digital for this quotation:
"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."
A rather nice statue in Vienna. Been looking back through these as I failed to get anything from my recent trip to Spain at all!!!
...just mystification.

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.

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!

Happy Caturday 11.8.2018 "Quotations"

Created for Mixmaster 13 in the Artistic Manipulation Group following Chef Beth's recipe:
➤ Your image must be a pure, non-representational abstract.
➤ It may NOT contain any recognizable objects or beings. Note: it may be digital art from a blank canvas and/or a photo manipulation, as long as the subject of the photo is not recognizable in the final result.
➤ Your image must convey/embody an emotion.
➤ The title of your image must be a quotation that includes the name of whatever emotion you have chosen.
➤ Your image must use three distinct colors/hues (besides black and white which are optional). Note: light, medium and dark blue are NOT distinct hues; blue, green and purple are.
This abstract was created by collating and blending several of my own abstracts and textures in Photoshop Elements 13.
