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

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!
ReplyDeleteWonderful 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.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful reminder of how fleeting moments can transform the ordinary into something unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteYay Pixie.
ReplyDeleteThumps up.
