" Don't live in the world
as if you were renting
or here only for the summer,
but act as if it was
your father's house. . .
" Believe in seeds, earth,
and the sea,
but people above all.
Love clouds, machines,
and books,
but people above all."
Nazim Hikmet,
Turkish poet, 1902-1963

I suspect I would put people (or many of them) towards the end of that list of things to believe in and love...

I suspect that there are quite a few unbelievable people here.
We have to take care of our world, it is the only one we have.

Living is no laughing matter:
you must live with great seriousness
like a squirrel, for example-
I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,
I mean living must be your whole occupation.

.. Fantastic shots.. Hi Morris
happy weekend, cloudia!
People disappoint me at times. Nature does too though. Storms, natural disasters feel like a bit of a betrayal.
Enjoy the weekend.
Have a great weekend!
Your comments get me UP better than coffee! Thanks so much :-)
The fat birdie seems to know where the humans leave treats, and Kitty's smile and chin reflects evidence of getting into butterscotch pudding! DrumMajor

Peace Cloudia!
