Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Kahlil Gibran



Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Kahlil Gibran



Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Kahlil Gibran



Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Kahlil Gibran



You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
Kahlil Gibran



Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman

Let there be space but interconnectedness and celebration between all things and points of view. They are all related to each other.

Believe in your dreams but know they are at the same time fleeting and illusions of the mind. Honor them, but do not be swept away by them.

Faith is an absolute knowingness that creates the bonds and the world we each reflect upon.

What we see and experience is in direct relationship to what is buried and floating within the space of our mind.

Bring Light to All that you accept and enjoy as well as that which hides in the Shadows.

Everything in life is interesting and worth exploring. But beware of becoming lost in the illusion.

I love the Kahlil Gibran's quotes, so perfect with your lovely pictures. I really like the pebbles.

It was again nice to be treated to Kahlil Gibran. I reread his biography like the last time you cited him. I found one more quote I enjoyed. "All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind ..." Btw. the pebble shot, like the other comment said, is truly exquisite.

This is a good post. It gets us thinking about the possible side-effects of calatrin . Although calatrin is to be taken along with the normal diet, it might bring along side-effects which are unexpected. Studies show that the side-effects shown by calatrin are on the positive side. There have been no reports of harmful side-effects. So there is no need to worry.

Beautiful as always...

Kahlil Gibran was my go to guy in the 70's. Such peaceful thoughts he had.

Judy said...

My favorite is the last one and the last quote, too. I love coming over here to see your photos and the great quotes you always come up with. Have a good week.

The first one, we have managed to follow a little too well! I wouldn't mind the shores being closer more often! :)

It is hard NOT to be judgmental about what is going on in your last photograph! Before I enlarged it, I thought it was a nice cosy cove with people enjoying some unique privacy. Instead, It seems like it is the scene of a busy lumber concern - trees being cut down, strewn across the beach?

Sylvia K said...

No, it isn't a lumber concern, and the trees were not cut down -- they were blown down by winds and storms and wash up on the beach every year.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
