The Gap

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
The Promised Land 
always lies on 
the other side of 
a Wilderness.
          Havelock Ellis




Anything done 
out of fear,
is a prayer

Close the gap
between yourself
and your spirit-
-the person you
know you can be.
Let your choices reflect
the person you
want to become,
not just the person
you think you are. Maggie Smith


There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud. Carl Sandburg

 bestowed by us 
on an animal
 arouses prodigies
 of understanding
 and gratitude.

    Loved the quotes by Smith and Sandberg, though I think my choices would be between an eagle and a cat! Wonder where all the other comments might be this morning...

    Thank you for your kind comments on my photos. I always enjoy hearing from you. I enjoyed seeing your pictures today, especially the sunset and the moon. They look terrific. I wonder what Pixie is thinking about that mirror image? BTW, I am sorry to learn you are going through a hard time. Know your bloggers support you.

    I love the pictures today, especially the sky and moon shots. Do you think Pixie sees the eagle or the hippo in her as she gazes at her reflection in the mirror?

    It's a wilderness with Manna and the water from the Rock.

    These quotes remind us that growth often requires struggle, courage, and the constant balancing of our higher aspirations with our earthbound selves

    Love how Carl Sandburg thought. So does pixie, by the look of her expression. Wishing you a lovely week ahead.
