Nothing Surprises In Dreams

A L O H A From Honolulu!
 Four ducks on a pond, A grass-bank beyond, A blue sky of spring, White clouds on the wing; What a little thing To remember for years To remember with tears! William Allingham





The most powerful
weapon on earth
is the human soul
on fire.
Ferdinand Foch




One of the characteristics
of the dream is that
nothing surprises us in it.
Jean Cocteau




Better by far
you should forget
and smile
than you should
remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti


All my life through,
the new sights of Nature
made me rejoice
like a child.
Marie Curie

Two of these sayings really resonated with me...the one about forgetting to be able to smile and the last with enjoying nature through the eyes of a child. I so love our land and take so much pleasure in it. I'm definitely enjoying it all like it is new to me each season. Thank you so much for sharing!

Cloudia said...

Marie Curie wins!
We all win by sharing our compassionate truth. I love you guys. G, wonder what did have pixie's attention when I took that picture so long ago?

Bill said...

Years ago I read a book on Marie Curie and loved it. Great quotes and photos, have a wonderful weekend.

Great post today! I love the sky shots. I think Pixie is wondering and fixated on birds in the sky (or maybe she is hoping for catnip??).

Aloha Cloudia and Pixie too, what a stunning opening photo of the beautiful sky, so very dreamy, makes me want to write a poem! We've been having nothing but grey skies. That capture of the hands and the lock, genius catch!
