Our adversary
(by the grace of God)
changes tactics
as we grow and change.
When it grows too easy
to overcome some challenge
the challenges
shift.
One strength has been gained
now to grow another.
The very definition
of a work-out.
The "devil"
is the dead weight that we lift.
But it is not bodily muscles
that we are developing.

Three very nice photos, Cloudia !
ALOHA !
technology - how far we have come...
There is great strength in facing the adversary of our being while sitting quietly.
We to often look to strength of arm and think that is a defining thing in this war of freedom; but I wonder is the man who carries a gun stronger than the one who quietly carries his world forward.
I'd rather have a strong shoulder for others to lean on than a weak finger to stand on.
Great photos! And also great quots!
Lovely photos...:)
Another outstanding post Cloudia. Always enjoy my visits here. Aloha!

The story of my life. But it isn't always easy to grow new strength.
Aloha, Cloudia.
Very interesting and thought-provoking poem, Cloudia!
Dig the rainbow photo.
Beautiful photos-- beautiful words. Another home run Cloudia.
I like the "devil is a dead weight we're lifting" Very nice.
Gorgeous rainbow! And, in keeping with your post, they only seem to be at their best after a storm!
I agree with Max Beerbolm .. and I am SO envious of your rainbow! Aloha!
wonderful post garnished with superb images

Those top photos look so much like things I saw in the Far East. It brings back a lot of memories.

Those photos are just wonderful Cloudia. :)
Know what you mean about that boy the devil that we lift. He is nothing but dead weight. Beautifully said. I love the Watts quote, too.
i love the first quote and picture, what a great shot of the palms and the sky.
Bonjour, Claude!
Walking Man: Wow, Amen.
Thanks to EACH of YOU
for visiting today. Your gift of your time and yourself is appreciated!!
Aloha
I sure hope Noel Coward is wrong, Cloudia!
Perhaps what tells us that it will be better is the very human emotion "hope".
love the rainbow.. and the skies!
