Less Is More: REST

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


There is in art 
the notion
of less is more,
which is to say,
you don't torture 
a painting
that has already 
confessed.
 Robert Breault




There are many 
kinds of smiles, 
each a passport 
to new places.
 Frances Frost





What is tolerance? 
It is the consequence 
of humanity. 
We are all formed of 
frailty and error; 
let us pardon reciprocally 
each other's folly - 
that is the first 
law of nature.
 Voltaire



Once we believe
in ourselves, we can
risk curiosity, wonder,
spontaneous delight, or
any experience that
reveals the human spirit.
e. e. cummings

Pixie seems to be showing off her "less is more" vibe to that stylishly overdressed puppy.

Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

Fun dog with the pink bow, but I don’t think Pixie is impressed.

That flower is just amazing. How cute is that dog, but not as cute as Pixie.

Joanne said...

Yep, you are right; I loved that first quote!

This post feels like a gentle pause for the soul, each quote is a little spark of reflection and calm. I love how it weaves art, humanity, and curiosity into one soothing thread. Makes me want to slow down, breathe, and notice the little wonders around me today.
