Swivel

 A   L   O   H   A  !


Our circumstances answer 

to our expectations and 

the demand of our natures.

           Henry David Thoreau









Sometimes the slightest things 

change the directions of our lives, 

the merest breath 

of a circumstance,

a random moment 

that connects like

 a meteorite striking the earth. 

Lives have swiveled and changed 

direction on the strength of 

a chance remark.  

      Bryce Courtenay











We carry inside us 

the wonders we seek 

outside us. 

  Rumi















All animals 

except humans know that 

the principle business 

of life is to enjoy it.   

Samuel Butler

Lives do indeed change after a chance remark - which is yet another reason for us to exercise care in what we say.
Thank you and Pixie. Always.

"Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark."
And you can't unring a bell. תודה

Is that swiveling blossom a frangipani? It is beautiful. Pixie is enjoying sitting and meditating, or is she just staring into space while plotting world domination? We may soon find out.

"... a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth."

Powerful metaphor. But the imagery makes me go, "Yikes!"

Be careful what you say in the heat of the moment.

So many tremendous quotes you've shared, especially enjoyed your theme, and to me it seems the more I spend time with little ones, and animals they truly know the meaning of living life to the fullest!
