Pink Life With Boats


I still believe
that above all things
physical,
it is more important
to be beautiful
on the inside -
to have a big heart,
and open mind,
and a spectacular
spleen. "

Ellen DeGeneres

Orange Horizons

" Far clouds 
of feathery gold,
Shaded with 
deepest purple, 
gleam
Like islands 
on a dark blue sea. "


Percy Bysshe Shelley

Sure, Just Ignore me!

" What a delight it is 
to make friends 
with someone 
you have 
despised. "

" Develop interest in life
 as you see it;
 in people, things,
 literature, 
music -- 

- the world is so rich, 
simply throbbing with
 rich treasures --

-- beautiful souls and 

interesting people. 
Forget yourself. "

to thyself,

" One is not idle 
because one is 
absorbed. 

There is both visible 
and invisible labor. 

To contemplate 
is to toil, 
to think 
is to do. 

 The eyes upturned 
to Heaven 
are an act 
of creation. "


Victor Hugo

to the unknown. "    

Claude Bernard

To Live

A    L    O    H    A  !

" To live in this world, 
you must be able 
to do three things: 
to love what is mortal; 
to hold it 
against your bones 
knowing your own life 
depends on it; 
and, 
when the time comes 
to let it go, 
to let it go. "


Mary Oliver
