Sometimes The Heart

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Those who dwell among
 the beauties & mysteries 
of the earth are never
 alone or weary of life.
                         Rachel Carson




Feel the feeling but
don't become the emotion.
Witness it. Allow it.
             Release it.             
        Crystal Andrus







Protaetia orientalis, 
Oriental Flower Beetle
The desire to reach for
the stars is ambitious.
The desire to reach
hearts is wise.
   Maya Angelou





Do not grow old, 
no matter how long 
you live. Never cease to 
stand like curious children 
before the Great Mystery 
into which we were born.
     Albert Einstein

 Sometimes 
the heart sees 
what is invisible
 to the eye.

The first photo, featuring a plane, is terrific.

What a beautiful reminder from Einstein — that wonder and curiosity are timeless, and keeping them alive is the true secret to staying young.

Thank you. Beauty and wisdom in equal measure.

Unlike your Pixie, our Lacey is uncurious and unplayfull.

Hello Cloudia,
Beautiful sky image. Love the cute doggie and your sweet Pixie.
The beetle looks huge. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Not becoming the emotion will be my goal today. Oh Pixie, the forever childlike curiosity of animals!

Martha Jane Orlando said...

May we never lose our sense of wonder, especially when we grow older. Blessings, Cloudia!

Again, your skies! We're a bit cloudy here with smoke.

Terrific photographs and post. I loved the way you connected them to the quotes. I followed your link from Saturday Critters.

The Einstein quote is a good reminder that age is just a number that can be ignored.

Teresa said...

Guru Pixie is teaching us to always remain curious, and that dog is looking at someone with the eyes of its heart.
