Merry Christmas, dear one! So glad we connected this year. I am always delighted to see your posts and comments. May the coming year be filled with joy and insight. :):)
I love that picture, all the critter tracks in the snow, the windblown snow sculptures. It's beautiful. I hope you are having the best of Christmas days.
Hej Teresa! I'm behind time with my comments this year. I wish you a very Happy Christmas time and a Happy New Year. The days always disappear so quickly and suddenly we have started the new year! I want to thank you for all your kind and generous comments to me in the last year, Teresa - and thank you for all your wonderful posts. I'm looking forward to reading your posts in the new year. I'm sure you'll write lots of great posts in 2012! See you soon! Grethe ´)
"All of us, all of us, all of us, trying to save our immortal souls, some ways more roundabout and mysterious than others. We are having a good time here, but hope all will be revealed soon." ~Raymond Carver
1. Be Impeccable with your Word. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally. 3. Don't Make Assumptions. 4. Always Do Your Best.
Vincent van Gogh "Gypsy Caravan at Arles"
"Come, Come, Whoever you are! Wanderer, Worshipper, Lover of Leaving, Come. This is not a caravan of despair. It doesn't matter if you've broken Your vows a thousand times, still Come. And yet again Come!"
~ Rumi (translation by Coleman Barks)
"To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle." Walt Whitman
Winslow Homer "Girl With Hay Rake"
"...And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean, and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit that impels
All thinking things, all objects of thought,
And rolls through all things."
~William Wordsworth, from Tintern Abbey
Ansel Adams
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." ~ Marcel Proust
"The mind, this globe of awareness, is a starry universe that when you push off with your foot, a thousand new roads become clear, as you yourself do at dawn, sailing through the light." ~Rumi (translation by Coleman Barks)
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of our consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~ Albert Einstein
