Henry David Thoreau famously wrote:
" Most men lead lives of quiet desperation- "

But did you know
that there is more
to that famous quote?

" -and go to the grave
with the song still in them. "
Song?
Without a song to sing,
without joy,
life itself
is mere futility.
Thank YOU for listening to my song.

It's true. Giving a voice to the song can be hard.
I will live and when the other comes I will embrace it for then and there the story book can go back on the shelf complete and the song can fade away. It is a good thing to be forgotten. I after all may have erred in everything I have done.
Well, there are a few more things besides how to live that haven't been figured out, but that is certainly high on the list.
I only recently found my voice. Once I did...my life changed...all for the good!
I had never heard the rest of that Thoreau quote. Wow!
You give me hope to have a song. Thank you.
Thoreau is one of my fav. Great quotes and photos. Nice weekend to you! =)
That Thoreau sure knew had a way with words.
Love these quotes and your wonderful spirit. Have a wonderful weekend.
Did you photoshop the the sky red. :-)

Well, I may have 'enhanced' the sky photo a wee bit . . .
thanks for visiting!
My life would be dreary without music and song :-).
You do capture the sky and growing things so well. Thank you.
It's also hard sometimes to tell the story that lives inside of us...great post...many thoughts touched here...
you are a big part of this party - EACH of YOU

Let's all stop doing what we're doing and sing!
What a post.
Makes me think of the Stairwell Choir. These are my favorite misfts who will make a racket coming up the stairs no matter how many times I tell them the baby's sleeping.
Life is good.
Heck, I had thought they kicked the band off the premises from Ala Moana shopping center.
And what a lovely song you sing! Great shots and quotes.
Nice post, Cloudia!
Music is important in my life too.
Oh no it can't be true, surely Thoreau is wrong!!! That would be too sad Cloudia. Hope you are enjoying the weekend with a song in your heart!!
music is a common language..
