Wild Horses
" Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds!
Has the whirlwind a home in your manes? "

is to ride the sky. "

They call me "Mellow Yellow"
and it bugs me
because, as you can see,
I'm ORANGE!
"The aim of life
is to live,
and to live means to be
aware,
joyously, drunkenly, serenely,
divinely
aware. "

Life is NOTHING
but change.
But we are at our best
when those changes are gradual.
Humans can adapt to
ANYTHING;
We live in snowy mountains,
steaming jungles,
and everywhere in between.
Some of us make microchips
in clean rooms,
some of us work
in the sewers.
We go down into mines
and we fly into space.
We can fake it
till we make it.
We can do successive
approximations
until we get it right.
I love that word:
'incremental'
There is another word
for change that is too
Sudden:
We call it
'Trauma.'
So surf the changes,
friend;
Fake it till you make it!
As long as there is life,
there is change.
That's why we post
every day.
Thank YOU for sharing here today

My family has had to adapt to a lot of change in the last two years - mostly not good. So blogging is an outlet for me and I especially love your lovely photos and musings.
I always like to read your little poems and quotes, and the accompanying dramatic photos ;-)

Surfing the changes, love it Cloudia.
Change is a boon of opportunity, a chance to begin a new and exciting canvas of ones life, if we are brave enough to take that one, tentative step.
Have a beautiful day ♥
Love your last words today Cloudia (well not LAST words haha! you know what I mean) but you're right we are pretty amazing in the way we adapt to our surroundings,and btw the sunsets and sunrises from your new 'residence' continue to astound!!
Love the horse quotes. Mellow yellow is pretty unusual!
Words so truly spoken...
People love stability but it is an illusion. Change is all we have.
...and that is why life is so interesting, fascinating, and joyful...winter is a tough season here in Canada....but the seasons are so amazing to watch.....that endless cycle of change....
I like changes in life.
Change is inevitable. So it's odd that we resist it so much sometimes. I so much enjoyed the pictures and quotes as well as your own wisdom.
Change .. nothing to do but go with the flow
Back in the day when Gregg was in the navy, and at the beginning of our marriage, we moved ten times in ten years. It taught me a great deal, to adapt to change being one of them, to be in the moment. Love this post but as I have said many times before, I love every one of your posts. Aloha Cloudia :)
Absolutely, if we didn't have change in our lives...we'd be dead....and so fake it I shall go if need be... (I kind of like the sound of that)funny how we do this without even knowing sometimes...until I make it...and even on my bluest days, as I may fake that smile, I will now recall this post !!!! and chuckle to myself....! Aloha Cloudia!
wonderful words...i feel the change! It feels like the first day of winter in Vegas....Have a fantastic day Cloudia! =)

EACH of YOU truly inspires me!
Thank You
"As long as there is life, there is change" that's spot on in my books :-).
Love it sweetie!!! Surf the change baby...you'll never get stale.

It is true, but you need to be willing to change. This is not easy for many people.
Greetings,

Change is inevitable, and the ultimate change is death.
