H A !
the cradle of
power. ”
J.G. Holland
private or public,
had ever been
undertaken in a
bliss of certainty."
Leon Wieseltier
you saw a heat wave,
would you wave
back? "
Steven Wright
while I kiss
the sky. "
Jimi Hendrix
=^..^=
We try to avoid
the unpleasant.
But overlooking
part of experience
only gives us
'blind spots."
When we observe
ourselves,
without shying away
from the pain,
insight has a way
of finding us.
Pain brings truth
as pleasure does.
And a wrong turn
can bring you
to unexpected
vistas,
fresh insights-
especially
about ourselves.
Honesty
to Self & Other
to Self & Other
is a source of
power.
Pause briefly
from being
from being
the Hero,
or Victim,
and inhabit
the place of the
Witness.
" Everything changes
once we identify with
being the witness
to the story,
instead of the
actor in it.”
Ram Dass

A lovely collection of quotes, as ever. I even got a good laugh out of one, unexpectedly. Quotes are so often just worthy and always highly moral or cautionary, so a funny one sticks out immediately.
Happy days!
Beautiful pics, darling!
Love Steven Wright ;)

Your words are an inspiration today, Cloudia!
Outstanding, Cloudia!

P.S. Stephen Wright: genius.

I like your words Cloudia. Very wise to look inward and watch ourselves being. I breathe. Will try to kiss the sky.
Happy Day.
You capture the most amazing cloud pictures, Cloudia. And I find your thoughts to be soothing also.
Love the J.G. Holland quote.
The witness of a story versus the character in it. Very much some food for thought there.
honesty is power itself...
and pain def can open the door to new truthes.

Over here it's hot like mad. There are hotspot sprouting up everywhere :(.
Steven Wright's delivery has always been brilliant when he's on stage.
Great views of the sky.
Thanks for this great invitation to honesty. Beautiful, Cloudia!
My mother is forever saying that you must suffer a little to understand just how wonderful the happy times are. Love your photos, Cloudia.
If I saw a heat wave I would turn my back and do my best to pretend it wasnt there.
And thank you for the wisdom, the beauty, and the smiles.
Incredible! Love this post. Those skies are marvelous and your words/quotes? Always inspiring.
Honesty to self is probably one of the hardest things to achieve. That second photo totally amazed me! Wow! What an awesome effect!
