Calms appear, when Storms are past;
Love will have his Hour at last:
Nature is my kindly Care;
Mars destroys, and I repair;

The biggest obstacle to
good gardening is the desire
to know the answers and
not the questions.

When Humans you see
be ready to flee,
When THEY see YOU
That's the thing to do!

A monk’s day begins with cleaning.
We sweep the temple grounds
and gardens and polish
the main temple hall.
We don’t do this because
it’s dirty or messy.
We do it to eliminate the
suffering in our hearts.

Clean your screens as if
you are cleaning your soul, allowing
the air to flow through freely.

It's nice that love comes on
first thing in the evening,
and goes out last
in the morning.
Love keeps the light
on all night.

what you deem it.

All these quotes are for a life time to realise
ReplyDeleteThe biggest obstacle to good gardening is... my neighbors complaining about me making too much noise at 3 in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the name Pixie comes from those two black points just on her nose. Her face has so much character and expression.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have lots of favorites the cute lizard and the ducks, the night sky and moon capture and your sweet Pixie. Take care, enjoy you day!
Just lovely. Nature is solace and heart balm to me. And the gardening is NEVER done.
ReplyDeleteLove the duck family and that night sky, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteThe ducklings look comfy.
ReplyDeleteYes, we do seem to get up early these days! Pixie was a rescue and came to us with her name already. But yes I like the two black sesame seeds on her nose and lucky to have such a beautiful companion. And I'm lucky in my friends. Thanks to each of you! Aloha!
ReplyDeleteI like the quote from Buddha and the night sky photo is absoluutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful. I want that lizard. We have tons of them here and they are most cute. So is Pixie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
I am thinking Pixie would enjoy playing with that lizard :)
ReplyDelete...deem be good!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed all the photos and quotes as always. The gecko is very wise but Pixie will always be my star :) Wishing you all nothing but good things my friend.
ReplyDeleteNature is amazing as our Buddhas. Both are so peaceful.
