Because of Tough

A L O H A !
 Red Sky


" If you've been up
 all night 
and cried 
till you have
 no more tears
 left in you - 
you will know
 that there comes
 in the end
 a sort of quietness. 
 You feel as if 
nothing is ever
 going to happen
 again. ”

 C.S. Lewis,

















 Red Stripe


" Brave men are all vertebrates;
 they have their softness
 on the surface
 and their 
toughness
 in the middle. "


Lewis Carrol


















Red Leaf

“ Tears
 are words
 that need 
to be written. ”

Paulo Coelho












Red Soup

“ When you've suffered
 a great deal in life, 
each additional pain 
is both 
unbearable
 and trifling. ” 

Yann Martel
















Ready  for  Sleep


" Life 
is a process
 of becoming,
 a combination
 of states 
we have to go through.
Where people fail
 is that they wish 
to elect a state 
and remain in it.
This is a kind of death. "

Anais Nin

We all want
an easy life,
but
I am proud
of Me
because
of the tough
times.

How About

All pain is trifling, nothing to cry about. It is a shower without water..

Nothing like a good cry. It releases something from inside. I feel sorry for those who can't cry. Sure feels better in the morning, when the sun's up.

Travis Erwin said...

As always, I enjoyed your photos and words of wisdom. My apologies for being a crappy blog friend, but I'm trying to get back in the groove.

I love the rainbow picture. I guess all tough times have much to teach us. I wouldn't want to relive them though. And I know they created ME, the one who now has a pretty easy life. I'm so grateful.

Teresa said...

What a profound post! Great quotes and wonderful pictures.

Daryl said...

I've never heard that Anais Nin quote, but I love it. Tough times can be so difficult, but I think they've also made me what I am and, yes, stronger (I hope:). Lovely rainbow, lovely images.

Special such an almost vertical rainbow.

Greetings,

I wish I could get a rainbow shot like that.

I view my tears as toxins - which need to be expelled.
My mother used to threaten to cry a puddle and drown people in it - but I have never come close.
Wonderful, wonderful, heart-warming photos. Thank you.

So, now you have evidence that the rainbows dive into the ocean to make the dolphies happy.
Hey, I wanted to be a wimp; darn it, I didn't ASK to become stronger. The processor still squeezed me through, so I'm okay now, just a few dents. Aloha helps owies. DrumMajor
