| Closed \ Open Windows |
If the doors of perception
were cleansed, everything
would appear as it is,
Infinite.
William Blake
People need to rediscover
the ability to find comfort
amidst discomfort.
Hanno Langenhoven
Often a star
was waiting for you to notice it.
A wave rolled toward you
out of the distant path,
or as you walked
under an open window,
a violin yielded itself
to your hearing.
All this was mission.
Rainer Maria Rilke

The urge to transcend
self-conscious self-hood is
a principal appetite
of the soul.
Aldous Huxley
The Doors of Perception
And Of Course:
COFFEE!
Yes
Opportunities to find
deeper powers within ourselves
come when life seems
most challenging.
Joseph Campbell

Whew! Glad I got this done before the mushrooms kicked in.
Oh Wait:
Love the shots of clouds and sun! The mural of the Hawaiin canoes is glorious. Pixie's secret power is sleeping some more. She is beautiful like this blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the flexible, beautiful Pixie.
ReplyDeleteSadly coffee is a closed door to me now - though I can (and do) still enjoy the aroma.
You are my sisters.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, I loved your Ginger lily blooms. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
ReplyDeleteI love it all!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Cloudia. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
ReplyDeleteLove the beach shot! And the sleeping Pixie. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAh, Rilke; no one comes close.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you for my daily dose of beauty and wise :)
ReplyDeleteTruly. Each of you brings a charge of fellowship joy which Pixie and I value so much. Mahalo
ReplyDeleteLove all the graphics and the quotes. The best part is Pixie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Pixie looks thoroughly comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThe ginger lily blooms are incredible as are all the lovely quotes. I want to visit that coffee bar and get some Kona coffee and maybe one of those hats. Thanks for sharing them with us for T this week, dear Cloudia (and Pixie, too).
ReplyDeleteThat mural of the canoes is beautiful. I'm sure it was difficult to paint on that corrugated canvas!
That Lagnehoven quote is exactly what you need in lockdown. I hear you guys are having to bring back some restrictions and I read about the fires. I'm truly sorry for both. It's a crazy world we're in at the moment. Here's hoping both are under control asap for you.
ReplyDeleteGosh! I can't remember seeing a crepe ginger before. I wonder if it has a smell.
ReplyDeleteYour kitty is so pretty, and the ginger lily is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/08/warm-strawberry-puff.html
Tha Huxley quote could be my mantra. The crepe ginger is lovely & exotic.
ReplyDeleteEyes Wide Open - Share That Beautiful Landscape - Be Well
ReplyDeleteCheers
I am a huge coffee fan...lovely photos and quotes...Michelle
