Echo

 

Life is an echo

That all comes back,

The good, the false

and the true.

So give the world

The best you possess,

And the best will 

Come back to you.

Happiness

 

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued,

 

is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly,

may alight upon you. 

~Nathaniel Hawthorne

No No Nannette

The Lady of the House went to see an amateur production of "No, No, Nannette", so I wasn't surprised to hear her humming the music the following day.  She saw me smiling.  "Yes, I know it's an old fashioned show," she said "but I still think these words are as relevant now as they ever were.  I want to be happy, but I can't be happy, till I make you happy too! is such a true sentiment.  Bringing happiness to those we love is surely one of the greatest pleasures we ever experience.

~Francis Gay, The Friendship Book 2010

Tortoise's Pace

Slow down, you move too fast

Gotta make the morning last

Orchid

My first orchid.....

I love the outline of the wisps of the flower

The white is so pure and delicate

Snow Cap

Do you hear what I hear?

 The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said.
