Unseen souls
Pray for those
They don’t even know.
Points of beauty
Like roses in snow.
Wishes for peace
Hopes for grace,
For every nameless
Hurting place.
No borders bind
Their quiet pleas
Flowing like rivers
Into oceans and seas.

Love is the power
to see similarity
in the dissimilar.
Theodor Adorno
A sudden light transfigures
a trivial thing, a weather-vane,
a windmill, a winnowing flail,
the dust in the barn door;
a moment - and
the thing has vanished,
because it was pure effect;
but it leaves a relish behind it,
a longing that the
accident may happen again.
Walter Pater
Personal growth starts
when you decide to
be who you are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind.
Michel Legrand

Linking To
They juggled the stars
with a child’s delight,
But dropped every planet—
oh, what a sight!
They claimed they could run it,
No help would they need,
Yet tripped on their shoelace
A classic misdeed.

Good morning my friend Clοudia!
Wonderful beach!!
I really liked Adorno's quote!
I always thought that I always see the similarity with fellow human beings and not the differences!!
Pixie is wonderful! She can even write good poetry while sound asleep. Love the shot of the pipe windmill.
Such a beautiful reminder of how fleeting moments can transform the ordinary into something unforgettable.
Yay Pixie.
Thumps up.
Hello Cloudia,
Love your critters, the ducks and ducklings are adorable. Pixie is a cutie and the lizard is a great capture too. Your poem is lovely, wishes for peace for those who are hurting. Thank you for sharing your link and critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank so much for leaving me a comment.
That Windmills reference is a song. Right?!
Beautiful inspiration as ever, Cloudia. Blessings!
I love the photo that changes the ordinary object into a work of art in the reflection. I love seeing things...noticing things along the way. Hugs to you and Pixie!
I love the duck :-D
Lovely ducks. Pixie is dreaming!
Love the shadow shot and your words, Cloudia. ;-)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your pics!
Many blessings, my friend!
Thank you for your poem. It's lovely and thought-provoking.
Pixie (and her mom) have beautiful words to share today...and it must have tired her out completely so she's taking a nap!
Yes AC! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eS5H5AEmXOA

...I LOVE the shadow.
That duck has a lot to say.
