Absolutely Beautiful Morning for a Walk to the Mall
" By health I mean
the power to live
a full, adult, living,
breathing life
in close contact
with... the earth
and the wonders
thereof - the sea -
the sun. "
Katherine Mansfield
“Given enough time,
you could convince yourself
that loneliness was
something better,
that it was solitude,
the ideal condition
for reflection,
even a kind of freedom. -
- Once you were
thus convinced,
you were foolish to
open the door
and let anyone in,
not all the way in.
You risked the
hard-won equilibrium,
that tranquility
that you called peace. ”
Dean Koontz
" The willingness
to accept responsibility
for one's own life
is the source
from which
self-respect springs. "
Joan Didion
" Anyone
who does not believe
in miracles
is not a realist. "
Audrey Hepburn

Absolutely! I live two hours away from the ocean and it is often physically painful. For most of my childhood I was no more than 15 minutes from the ocean.
a happy day to you, cloudia.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful kaleidescope of coloring.
ReplyDeletenice quote by Audrey Hepburn
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia! Perfect quotes and snaps! I have to laugh at your "caught in the act" put your phones down girls!
ReplyDeleteTranquility is indeed hard to come by, and it is scary to risk it. But sometimes the risk is worth it.
ReplyDeleteoh i agree much with the taking responsibility for ones own life...not an easy thing to do because then it is our fault...but there is freedom in that too...
