Not Everyone Sees It

A  L  O  H  A !
Consider a tree for a moment. 
As beautiful as trees are to look at, 
we don't see what goes on underground - 
as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots 
in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. 
But we don't see the roots. 
We just see and enjoy the beauty. 
In much the same way, what goes on 
inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
                       Joyce Meyer







Everything has beauty, 
but not everyone sees it.  
Confucius


That's what I was thinking,
before I took this shot








The only thing that ultimately matters
is to eat an ice-cream cone, 
play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, 
good God, now you're free. 
                   Ray Manzarek









The sparrow that is twittering 
on the edge of my balcony is 
calling up to me this moment a world 
of memories that reach over half my lifetime, 
and a world of hope that stretches farther 
than any flight of sparrows. 
                      Donald G. Mitchell

Accustom The Eye To Calmness

A  L  O  H  A !
"Everything has beauty, 
but not everyone sees it.” 
             Confucius










“What we do see depends 
mainly on what we look for. . .
In the same field the farmer will 
notice the crop, the geologists the 
fossils, botanists the flowers, 
artists the colouring, sportsmen 
the cover for the game. Though we 
may all look at the same things, 
it does not all follow that 
we should see them.” 
            John Lubbock








“To learn to see- to accustom 
the eye to calmness, to patience, 
and to allow things to come up to it; 
to defer judgment, and to 
acquire the habit of approaching 
and grasping an individual case 
from all sides. This is the first 
preparatory schooling. . . ” 
                      Friedrich Nietzsche
