The intriguing placidity
from the slothful pace
of a snail is
truly very peaceful.
Our world is in need of
this calmness to pacify itself.

Being able to do whatever we want to do is the most precious natural gift that we possess, but doing only what we ought to do is the only adequate expression of our gratitude for it.

I never do anything
I don't want to do.
Nor does anyone, but
in my case I am
always aware of it.

The clouds in that last picture are spectacular. I love the Pixie picture paired with that quote. I also love the message of persevering like plants that grow out of concrete and survive. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm going to send you something.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - and wise. Though I do do things I would rather not.
ReplyDeleteHello Cloudia,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes, I love the trees and lovely blooms.
Cute shot of your sweet Pixie. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Pixie is such a delight.
ReplyDeleteI changed some things this week and made time for working on my junk journals. It sure has made me happy! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI often have to do things I don't want to do. I bet Pixie doesn't! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your first photo that incredible bloom just a perfect capture of life! Interesting story as well as your lovely quotes and photos, you are a day brightener for us all! Aloha to you and Pixie too!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated friends
ReplyDeleteThe pairing of your photos to the sayings is really nice, and any photo of Pixie is a delight.
ReplyDeleteOne small change in my routine, even if I'd rather not do it, is so refreshing afterward. The orchids look like fuschia velvet.
