Quiet Room

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Without the fire,
the phoenix never rises
from the ashes.
Forrest Curran



If we can't have world peace, I'll settle for a quiet room. Joyce Rachelle



Be at peace.
Breathe deeply and relax, Let go of all your worries.
In quiet rooms where sanity reigns Close your eyes And listen deep,
Feel stillness all around Find your grace And join me here, Where peace and love
are near.


If your soul is wide,
the narrowness of the street
does not bother you;
if your soul is narrow,
the width of the street
does not comfort you!
     Mehmet Murat ildan




People say 
nothing is impossible, 
but I do nothing 
every day.
           A. A. Milne

It's interesting how Pixie's poses make me wonder what she is thinking about. She looks very intent here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cloudia said...

I see what you mean. I hope you're feeling better Kay Aloha

I love the cloud phoenix in the fiery sky and Pixie trying to figure out if her soul is broad or narrow. I think she is a big-souled kitty...

We all need a quiet room. Often.

Pixie does a lot by wincing at you.

Pretty photos, love the flower.
Cute Pixie, the days can fly by even doing nothing.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.

A quiet room doesn't even have to be quiet.
My morning spot is my quiet time and quiet room, but I hear the sounds of the nearby highway. The pavement brings sounds from miles away.If you are listening for the highway, it can be a bit annoying. But if you are listening for the birds, the neighbor's roosters and chickens, the distant cows mooing in the fields -- the highway sounds fade into the background and the peace of nature takes its rightful place.

Even quiet time in a busy park can be good. Pixie would like a bit of quiet now please. ;-)

Some years back I read an entire book on solitude. It made me appreciate a quiet room. Thanks for these, Cloudia.

I like the Milne quote, and a cat photo is perfect for it.

Rostrose said...

Dear Cloudia, the last saying is funny, and sweet Pixie's somewhat skeptical look fits in well :-D The thoughts of the quiet room in a world without world peace or the thought that the phoenix needs fire to rise from the ashes, have something deeply calming for me... Thank you!
All the best and happy weekend

How I love a quiet room, Cloudia. And that quote fits Pixie to a "T."

I love that Milne quote.

Bill said...

A quiet room is most enjoyable and I think Pixie would agree. :) Happy weekend, Cloudia.

I like that Mehmet Murat ildan quote and photo above it. The scooter is a real beauty and so is she. Very nice Street Photography!
