that I won!

Time
is the real stuff
of our life.
Don't waste it
on the inessential,
or let your seasons
change
unobserved.
So in what essential
shall we
dwell?
Not
I have learned
in future plans
or BIG moments.
No,
dwell in the texture of
Now.
Light
against window,
light
through eye lids,
Changing changing
. . .
gradations
of
ETERNITY.
Spending my time
framing my shots,
re-framing my
psychology.
I'm SO glad YOU are on this journey too!
Bless You, Friend-
YOUr comment is appreciated
Warmly, cloudia
Marcus Garvey a tad arrogant, I feel. The rest splendid.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, beautiful colors that ... a pleasure to visit your blog.
ReplyDeleteCould the Garvey Quote be sarcasm in motion? If not I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteI figured that was her policy. Because I am slightly sensitive and paranoid and shy, I didn't want to get all but hurt if I wasn't invited in. So I sent my daughter to get the ipod.
ReplyDeleteLove that fire camel in the sky!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your 'explosion' at the start. It sets the day!
ReplyDeleteAnother happy day!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful welcome to a beautiful day.Your blog is lovely,thanks for dropping by mine,phyllis
ReplyDeleteI saw the 'fire camel' straight away, love 'cloud shape' gazing!! Enjoy a slice of home made bread for me over the weekend Cloudia and I'll just imagine the smell of it baking!!

Mnnmmn, I could go for some fresh bread
ReplyDeleteMmmmn, there is nothing quite so fine, as the smell of fresh baked bread about the house!
ReplyDeleteThe quotes are all lovely. Your photos and your words are so beautifully inspiring. Thank you Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your bread machine!! Looks delicious. I love the phrase about living in the texture of your life now. It is interesting to think about how life is textured.

ReplyDeleteThe first cloud is on fire.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Bonza photos i especially like the camel cloud in the 1st photo. Quotes by Smiley Blanton and Edvard Munch get my vote. Ya can't go past Vegemite on toast for breakfast yummmy :-).
ReplyDeleteI don't what is happening to my PC, it's acting up since 3 days ago, I can see some of the photos especially the first and second. I love the Great Fire Camel--so lucky of you to have that shot. Guess you really love watching the sky or sky gazing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Happy belated Thanksgiving! Thank you for the warm thoughts and inspiring words that you have given.
Warm Aloha and Salaam Cloudia.
Reading your remarks is a major high point of ANY day. Thank YOU
ReplyDeleteSO much!
Honesty and love, probably without a standpoint of view, as honest as bread, life does learn from your compositions.
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a good weekend.
thank you, Robert
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the quotes, images, and your poem. Each one is so reflective and thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fire camel. Well spotted and well caught. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLately, the skies are really in great colors before the rain ...
ReplyDeleteYou and your bread machine will be indivisible! Love, love, love fresh bread, pizza, focaccia, all sorts of baked sustenance.
ReplyDeleteSO happy that YOU could come by!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU
visiting your blog is a stroll through wisdom

ReplyDeleteyes, thanks :-)
I was in Waikiki today, picking my son up.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the smell of bread baking.
As always I feel uplifted from a visit to your page, and now, hungry too. Fresh bread...........yum!
ReplyDeleteI've seen several blog posts about appreciating the NOW. It's so true isn't it? I keep worrying about the future and I should just focus on enjoying the now. I need those reminders.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, and that one with the birds in, please can you tell me what is it called?
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you smoke! You've lit up a Camel. ;)
ReplyDeleteAloha! I invite that charming camel for a stroll across the sky!...
