" I have to be alone very often.
I'd be quite happy
if I spent from Saturday night
until Monday morning
alone in my apartment.
That's how I refuel. "
Audrey Hepburn

A funny thing is happening.
Lately,
when I see somebody doing
something stupid,
before I can judge,
or feel superior,
I realize:
"I do (have done)
the SAME thing!"
The beginning of compassion,
for
myself...
What do YOU say?
Fondly, Cloudia

ReplyDeleteI really must agree with that Hepburn quote. I do so love time alone.
ReplyDeleteForgive and forget...then remember you don't know what the person in those shoes is going through! It may just break your heart...but your heart will be clear if you stop and do not judge!
ReplyDeleteLove you as always!
We will be judged as we judge.......

I say, agreed~~! Just when I'm aiming to be like James Bond, there comes the Mr. Bean moment to bring me down to Earth . . . Here's to solitude and also helping others, both wonderful things. Cheers ~~!
ReplyDeleteso NICE to see you! Thanks...
ReplyDeleteWish that the first quote would be a fundemetal right to everyone.
ReplyDeleteAs my son continues to ask 'why' often five times in a row, once he saw something or I explained something, it happens to me , that I do ask myself time and again such a 'why' as well.
great entry, pulse of current life.
Like yesterday's Hawaiian quote as well as today's and the Audrey Hepburn one too. Didn't receive Tuesday's post until today Thursday OZ time something must be up with Blogger again :-).
ReplyDeleteI had the same issues as Windsmoke. And I love, love, love my time alone. Thank you. Lots. Beautiful photos, beautiful quotes. As always.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Audrey! Great pics, too! Aloha from Cajun country!
ReplyDeleteNice to have time alone...lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is so soothing to read all your beautiful quotations and look at your great pictures. Time alone is nice, alone on a beach in Hawai’i would be even better…
ReplyDeleteYep, I need lots of alone time, too.
ReplyDeleteI love alone time too.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this golden solitude here!!

I'm so glad, Cloudia, because you KNOW I've been doing some stupid things. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia !
ReplyDeleteI left home three days for a long week-end but I am back.
You are a very lucky women to live in Hawaï.
Aloha !
I totally agree with Audrey Hepburns's words, it very rarely happens unfortunately! Lovely post Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture with the shadow.
ReplyDeletegreetings, Joop
Beautiful places when it is not raining.
ReplyDeleteLovely, the place around you. We always be with and without you.
It's much to easy to judge. It takes more effort to understand. I think we should owe ourselves that same courtesy.. but seldom do. Lovely photos.
