Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty


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

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
Kahlil Gibran

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
Anais Nin

Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
Anais Nin

    I think we are supposed to have blue skies on Wednesday Sylvia, so your camera and your tulip tree should be happy for a photo shoot.

    To truly know and accept what is without reason, this too can be described as Love. It is a GOoD feeling.

    It´s true, when those blossoms fill the screen, it fills a lot more inside me too.

    Tulips are my favourite. Again, Khalil Gibran is fantastic.

    I like the quote about anxiety as it is so true. Beautiful tulip tree. Ours will bloom in a couple of weeks, but they are done so quickly!
