Henry David Thoreau famously wrote:

But did you know
that there is more

" -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.
Please leave us a comment! cloudia
It's true. Giving a voice to the song can be hard.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWell, there are a few more things besides how to live that haven't been figured out, but that is certainly high on the list.
ReplyDeleteI only recently found my voice. Once I did...my life changed...all for the good!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard the rest of that Thoreau quote. Wow!
ReplyDeleteYou give me hope to have a song. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThoreau is one of my fav. Great quotes and photos. Nice weekend to you! =)
ReplyDeleteThat Thoreau sure knew had a way with words.
ReplyDeleteLove these quotes and your wonderful spirit. Have a wonderful weekend.

Well, I may have 'enhanced' the sky photo a wee bit . . .

My life would be dreary without music and song :-).

ReplyDeleteLet's all stop doing what we're doing and sing!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely song you sing! Great shots and quotes.
ReplyDeleteNice post, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteMusic is important in my life too.
