I like the photos and the words on forgiveness, specially the one about the prisoner being yourself, very true.
Beautiful photos - Absolutely beautiful!
I think most of the time I stay out of jail although I sometimes cannot find the key to the handcuffs.
such wonderful quotes and photos. Thank you for sharing this post Sylvia!
I don't know how you do these great posts every day but I love the quotes and pictures, especially that last colorful sky.
Good to see you join in on the Microfiction Fun, too!

Very enjoyable post! The lovely rose was a wonderful treat!
I love that gorgeous dew kissed rose. It's true about being a prisoner to hatred or anger.

I love and feel this quote to be so important for so many in life. Instead of facing something and acknowledging an issue or a problem, we often repress it and want to forget instead of to forgive where it released, and therefore frees up our Hearts and Minds to feel fresh and brand new again.
Wonderful words, and beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing them!
This sentence of Lewis B. Smedes stayed most also to my mind from your post, Sylvia.
You have found right words and beautiful photos, thank you!
Forgiveness and friendship - I guess you need a lot of the former to maintain the latter.
Gandgi is right, except I'd take it further - secure people don't take offense easily, therefore there's nothing to forgive.
Lovely thoughts and pictures.
Beautiful text and shot:-)
Wish you a great day! Hugs from Norway!
I tell you my friend, you and the photographs of your flowers. They are just stunningly amazing :) I love them. I love all your photos, but those just grab me for some reason. :) Well done. :)
...The Silver spred on this magnificient sea in this calm moment.......HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL....
I'm curious if a little further away turning right you will see the white sails of a silent boat...?
THIS photo of the blue-silver sea is my favourite; full of beauty the other pictures too, a big joy to admire them....!!!!
Have a wonderful day, dear Sylvia!
Beautiful shots! The small waterfall reminds me of college days when we would hike up to the jungle (owned by the school) with our pack lunch to be refreshed by nature after a hard week's study.
The rose with the water droplets is exquisite!
Gorgeous skies top and bottom and that rose is just lovely ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
Sacred Ruminations
