Looking for Angels

Aloha

Happy to See YOU :)



"Space and light and order.

Those are the things that men need

just as much as they need bread

or a place to sleep."



Le Corbusier












"I search for the realness,

the real feeling of a subject,

all the texture around it...

I always want to see the third dimension of

something...

I want to come alive with the object. "



Andrew Wyeth






"Sometimes our light goes out

but is blown into flame

by another human being."

Albert Schweitzer







"Rocky"


"In matters of style, swim with the current;

in matters of principle, stand like a rock."


Thomas Jefferson









"Do not fear mistakes.


You will know failure.


Continue to reach out."


Ben Franklin







"It always amazes me to think

that every house on every street

is full of so many stories."


"Glenn Close

Looking for angels?

Looking way over there?

Looking for evidence,

a blowing curtain

a feather left behind?



Don't look for angels

approaching from a magical distance

approaching like a beam of light,

arriving from far away.



Looking for angels?

Then

Quickly, quietly

out of the corner of your eye;

catch the glimmer of the angel

(or angels! :)

already there.

For they do not approach

but wait by your side

while we look afar

for what is closer

than we know

!


Warmly, cloudia

So true. So well said. And then we should look in the mirror and realize the magic is inside as well as alongside us. Beautiful post.

Great quotes, Cloudia! I should like to have a look in that old house and meet the ghosts of the past. Aloha!

I mus be the odd man out, the quotes didn't do much for me;especially Jefferson

"In matters of style, swim with the current;
in matters of principle, stand like a rock."

If one follows the herd in anything why would they stand when a principle appears? That is just not human nature.

Follow no one in style or principle but always stand on your own conviction.

Aloha

As it is said, we are one winged angels, only able to fly, while embracing eachother - this was a delight to read.

Please have a good Wednesday.

Gemma Wiseman said...

Angels may take many forms and inhabit many spaces. Like Sandy, I believe the angel may, in fact, be within us or even among us here!

Namaste!

Betty Manousos said...
