Chuang Tzu and Hui Tzu were walking by the Hao River.

Chuang said: 'See the fishes leaping and darting in the stream.

Look how happy they are!'

Hui replied: 'Not being a fish yourself, how do you know the fishes are…

SHE GATHERED

She gathered beautiful things along the way to pass on, but not clothes or jewels.

She gathered starlight when she couldn’t sleep… and sprinkled it on her stories so that the children of her children would listen in wonder and remember with delight.

She gathered lessons, learned at rock…

Men don’t age better than women,

men age without fear,

without worry,

without judgement.

Men age secure in the knowledge that it’s as it should be,

and the fight is not theirs to take on.

Men age without prying eyes looking for lines,

looking for grey hairs or spare fat.

Men just age.…

Desejo-te a paz do ar que passa suave

Das ondas que mansas quebram na praia

Da terra quieta que pisas com teus pés

Desejo-te toda a beleza das flores

Pois com seu perfume e ternura

São mensageiras de amor e paz

Desejo-te a luz do sol

O brilho das estrelas

O amanhecer

Os…

A espera, que minha alma espera!

Clicia Pavan

Um estranho encanto envolve minha alma

Como um silencioso canto, suave, profundo

Como uma flor que renasce na primavera

Minha alma renasce da força vital, a energia pura, Deus!

Como águia, meus pensamentos voam

Voam ávidos a procura da essência perdida

Olho os…

I photographed Victoria two weeks ago in Chisinau, Moldova. Her name means victory in Romanian, the language of Moldova. And her own life is a victory of hope over suffering.

Victoria was born with a disability and spent most of her childhood and adolescence in hospitals. When she was home, other kids were making fun of…

Nós somos frutos

Do mesmo pomar

Flores do mesmo campo

Rosas do mesmo jardim

Somos ondas do mesmo mar

Somos filhos da terra

Somos estrelas do mesmo céu

Somos filhos de Deus

We are fruits

from the same orchard

Flowers from the same field

Roses from the same garden

We are waves of the same sea

we are children of the earth

We are stars of the same sky

We are children of God

I wish all good and lovely member of this beautiful site a blessed and happy Sunday 

with love and peace always , and my deep respect 

Perfect Woman

SHE was a phantom of delight

When first she gleam'd upon my sight;

A lovely apparition, sent

To be a moment's ornament;

Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;

Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair;

But all things else about her drawn

From May-time and the cheerful dawn;

A dancing shape, an image…

     Here I go

                  Jumping off my plateau

into

the cold

blue

soothing waters

below

     There I go

                     It isn't easy you know

                                          But once I hit the water and splashed I knew I just had to go

Can you follow the laughing splashing

simply smashing…

On Thursday, I was driving into town and spotted a Raven in the middle of the highway. As I got closer, I could see that it was hit by a car. The bird was in the middle of the lane and about three miles from home. Knowing Ravens well from living alongside a family for twenty years, I suspected it was one of the pair that lives in the…

God is present in everything around us

The secrets of life

in seed germination

the movements of the Earth

spinning endlessly.

the dew on the grass

in nature that charms,

smell coming from the earth

and the sun rising

flowers that bloom

perfuming the air,

the new leaves…
