Clock & Calendars

What is possible?
The practical,
simple and kind.
We work, love and help
others as best we can,
gawk at nature, rest.
Is that it?
Pretty much...age teaches us
that kind, simple and practical
are enough, even in the
face of the worst. Anne Lamott



Two duties belong
to our souls.
One is to
reverently marvel.
The other is
humbly to endure...
Julian of Norwich



Sky Lupine
(Lupinus nanus)
a popular wildflower.
Shot in California






Carry so much love
in your heart
that there's no room
left for hatred.

We must not allow the
clock and the calendar to
blind us to the fact that
each moment of life is
a miracle and mystery.

  3. Your first sunset is breathing a sneaky sigh as it retires for the evening. And you snuck a blue California flower in there! Your second sunset is beautiful with those ocean waves. Pixie is giving good advice! Linda in Kansas

  4. Your photos are always amazing, Cloudia, but I love the last one with the ocean so much. Let's savor every moment we have with appreciation and humility.

  6. Loved all your photos today! especially the one of an elder looking over the shoulder of the young woman…who is totally oblivious. Such is life!

  9. I like the street photo. It allows us to make up a story to go with it.

  11. The California lupin is quite remarkable -- related to ones I have seen but different too.

  12. Reverently marvel and humbly endure -- that's about the size of things, yes.

  15. Replying to your comment over on my blog. Condolences on the loss of your mother. I'm so sorry you have so much to deal with these days. Loss of a mother is especially difficult, I have found.
