"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love." ~ Caroline Adams "Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed." ~ Corita Kent The Passage of Time by Toni Verdu Carbo "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~ Albert Einstein Ethereal Dao by Mitja Kobal *"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."* *~ Buddha* *"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure."* *~ Helen Keller* Does he land it?? by Michael Brooking "To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed." *~ Bernard Edmonds* Natalie - The Trail of the Butterfly by Bart Ramakers *"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible."* *~ Arthur C. Clarke* New York with a View by Jamie McKerral *"Act as if it were impossible to fail."* *~ Dorothea Brande* Girl Hang by a Rope. Photo by Periklis Ripis *"Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right."* *~ Henry Ford* *"He who hesitates is lost."* *~ Proverb* My Heart Flows My Head by Gabriela Gattaneo *"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall."* *~ Confucius* Let it fall... by kyshots "Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." ~ Ashley Smith Happy Fruit Grass by Michael Porter
