The past few days have seen so much horror in Colorado and I just want to be reminded of the beauty in our world and the wisdom of some. May all of you have a peaceful week filled with love, beauty and gratitude.

A shocking, horrific event Sylvia hard to even imagine possible. As you say at times like this we have to remember all the good things as well.
I agree : there are no words to express what we feel at so much hate and violence, Sylvia
Martin Luther was a wise man and it is good to remember his words
Beautiful photos and a perfect quote, although sometimes very hard to live by - how do you not hate a man who's killed somebody you love? I drive by that movie theater every time I go to the Denver airport.
Such a horrific shooting.
Lovely shots.
i love the falls.
Your collection of photos is a great reminder of the beauty that is in this world that is easily disrupted by the actions of mankind. The quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. is just one more reason why the man is so respected. He looked beyond the surface of things. I think when someone precious is lost, we become too sad to even feel anger at some point.
Your photo's are always beautiful Sylvia and I love that saying altho it is hard to live by sometimes.
Beautiful and peaceful shots and I love the M.L.K. quote. It's terrible about the horrors in the world and it can be so overwhelming.
Great collage!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wise words for all of us to remember each and every day.
What a great quote, Sylvia! I wonder why humans seem to "enjoy" hating so much.
What a beautiful collection of pictures that remind us all there is splendour in this world but for some people this week it is going to be very difficult to remember beauty exists.
Amazing pictures, Sylvia! Have a great week :)
A very important quote one wishes the whole world to read. Most of all the second sentence. Which makes the difference between 'us' and 'him'. Please have a good Tuesday.

Your blog helps balance the horror and violence that the media focuses on these days... The antidote to such common violence is the calming force of beauty. Please keep our hope for the future intact and continue to inspire us with your well chosen quotes and photos and occasional snippets of humor.
Beautiful photos and words to folloiw
Have a nice week :)
Delightful mosaic, your world is beautiful. Greetings.
Beautiful collage and the way you acknowledged the tragedy is perfect (what you said and the MLK quote as well). I never know how to do that. Thank you
Thank you for showing all the beauty! A refreshing change from the news.
Fabulous quote---and I love love love that waterfall.... Awesome!!!
Hugs,

Peace...
seems so elusive
Our newspapers too are filled with Colorado disaster, such mindless act. :(
When bad things happen we need to work to find the good. I love your nature photo selections.
blessed Tuesday,Sylvia! thanks for the inspiration.
Sylvia, what a beautiful message in this time of sadness. I believe that the goodness of people will help the people of Aurora. Thanks for your message of hope.

Beautiful set of images. Love that water fall.
I just wish people would listen. How hard can it be?

Lovely mosaic, Sylvia. The waterfall is just fantastic!
It takes somebody like you to get our mind back on the beauty of the world. Have a great day Sylvia!!
P.S. Selling guns or TV sets should not be the same. Now movies are to blame for the shootings as I've heard in the US? Please... Have you seen the amount of guns the shooter had at home?
I join the Wailing Colorado meaningless.
Some very true statements.
greetings. -
Awesome photography and quote ~ thanks for 'coming by' ~ namaste, (A Creative Harbor)
Horrible news from Denver, Sylvia. We live in a beautiful world and we each need so little that it should be easy to share and enjoy for everyone. Hard to understand why there is so much hate and senseless violence.
Thanks for reminding us of the beauty of this world.
