Survivorship

A L O H A  From

Curiosity and questions 
will get you further than 
confidence and answers.

There is the mud, and 
there is the lotus that 
grows out of the mud
We need the mud in 
order to make the lotus.
     Thich Nhat Hanh




We have the greatest power through love that can be known. It overcomes everything with its fierce and steady truth, if you can continue to stand in it. Jay Woodman

  1. Great post! I love the bright red sky and the lotus blossoms. Pixie is telling us that cats don't need mud to be beautiful; mud is only necessary for dogs and humans on their spa days.

  4. "Old age is
    not a disease -
    it is strength and
    survivorship..."

    Life is so quick.

  12. I love the Maxime Lagacé quote. It took me decades to figure out that when I was trying to learn something to just shut up unless I had a question.

  16. It's astounding....time is fleeting. Suddenly I look in the mirror and I am "of an age" that I once thought was ancient. Yet I look inside myself and I am still young there.

  18. All the pink in your post is a good color for today since it's cloudy and damp at my house. Give Pixie a pat for me and have a wonderful weekend.
