There goes August

Soft summer evening

It’s always summer somewhere.

~ Lily Pulitzer

Gifts of the morning

Early morning

Here, fire turns into water;
Here, the dancing of the rain declares the sun.
There’s no opposition in existence, no contradiction;
Everything supports everything else.

~ Osho

On the islands

Egret. (Assateague)

Take hold of your own life.
See that the whole existence is celebrating.
These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious.
The rivers and the oceans are wild,
and everywhere there is fun,
everywhere there is joy and delight.
Watch existence,
listen to the existence and become part of it.

~ Osho

Wonder

Holly fades to black

Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table.  Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.

~ Diane Ackerman

Silent Sunday

Word

Love

To love means being 100 percent responsible for your experience of living, to not be a victim or a martyr, and to be 100 percent accountable for the quality of your life, which includes the amount of love, joy, and growth you create in your relationships each day.

To love is the ability to remain strong, stable, and committed through difficult times, changes, and challenges.  It means being gentle, kind, and supportive of your potential, goals, and aspirations.

~ Harold Bloomfield

August roses

Dew kissed

Won’t you come into my garden?  I would like my roses to see you.

~ Richard Brinsley Sheridan
