" If you look deeply into the palm of your hand,
you will see your parents
and all generations of your ancestors.
All of them are alive in this moment.
Each is present in your body.
You are the continuation of each of these people."

Harvest
We must not hope to be mowers
and gather the ripe gold ears
Unless we first have been sowers
and watered the furrows with tears
We must not hope to be mowers
and gather the ripe gold ears
Unless we first have been sowers
and watered the furrows with tears
It is not just as we take it
This mystical world of ours
Life's field will yield as we make it
A harvest of thorns or flowers
Goethe

Greetings from France,

That Ken Olsen was wrong, huh? :) Lovely post, as always.
Love this...you made me smile with the quote ..." Research showsthat experts are no betterat predicting the futurethan dart-throwing monkeys. " too funny!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Blazing trails through dharma again are we? It is good to open the door for another that they can find their own way.
Interesting and amusing quotes today.
Now we want a computer in our hands, in our pockets!!!
What's Buddha Hand Cloudia??
Oh my I wonder if Ken Olsen is still alive and if he ever thinks about that quote! I've never seen a Budda Hand before Cloudia, is it a bit like bananas??
Each amazing quote to ponder.
Lovely photos as always, Cloudia. Have you ever eaten Buddha Hand? Google tells me it's citrus.. I would have thought banana-like.
I also Googled Ken Olsen after reading PerthDailyPhoto's comment. It seems he just passed away earlier this year and was rather misquoted. Here's what Wikipedia had to say:
Two quotes of his are frequently taken out of context, and are indeed among the least understood in the industry.
from 1977: There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.
Referred to having the computer run the house, with automated doors, voice-activated faucets et cetera. He had a computer in his home for general use and promulgated the idea.
from 1992: People will get tired of managing personal computers and will want instead terminals, maybe with windows.
Anticipated thin clients and the general client-server model of the web. Indeed, most of the "thinking" now happens "out there," as with a mainframe and an office full of terminals way back when. Note that by "windows" he was not referring to Microsoft Windows, but rather to a windowing capability in a general sense: subdividing the screen so that more than one program can display its output at the same time.
I'm always curious about the origins of things. Of course Wikipedia is not always a reliable source but it sure can throw different light on things.
And speaking of different light, I love that hint of a rainbow at the bottom right corner of the last image. Beautiful
Buddha Hand? What's that?
Yeah, no one would want a computer in their home. There's some prophecy for you. :)
Great colors... what fruit is that? They look a bit like hands... kinda.
We do indeed reap what we sow... so let's make sure we reap joy.
Love the first photo with all that glowing yellow. I try not to look at my hands- they remind me of my grandfather's hands-which are large for a woman!;)
The sun comes closer and closer.

Bonza quotes especially the ones by Vinod Khosla and Thich Nhat Hanh. Buddha Hand please enlighten me to :-).
Why would anyone want a computer in their home, hmm, beats me!
That made me smile, as did the other quotes too.
What are the Buddha hands? Never seen them before, are they like a squash?
Thank you. Beautiful as always.
Yes, it is life that we hold with our hands. First picture is just incredible ! Please have you all a good Thursday.
Love the Einstein quote ... I just posted it on Facebook. Where can I find a monkey throwing dart? I think they can type better novels than some I've checked out from the library.
Gosh, thanks for visiting and for sharing enlightenment.
Buddha hand is citrus? I had no idea - just wanted to photo them :-)
May you always harvest flowers.
Always enjoy your thought-provoking quotes and captivating photos !
Aloha Cloudia !
