A great place!

Always we hope someone else has the answer.  Some other place will be better, some other time it will all turn out well.  This is it.  No one else has the answer.  No other place will be better, and it has already turned out.  At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want

Lao Tzu, From  “Tao Te Ching”

Take your time to be friendly -

It is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream -

It is hitching your wagon to a star.

Take time to love and to be loved -

It is the privilege of the gods.

Take time to look around -

It is too short a day to be selfish .

Take time to laugh -

It is the music of the soul.

OLD ENGLISH PRAYER

To Be Present In All One Does

“To be sensual is to respect and rejoice in the force of life itself. and to be present in all that one does, from the effect of loving to the breaking of the bread.”

What is life?  It is the flash of a firefly in the night.  It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.  It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset

Chateau du Clos Luce

Chateau du Clos Luce - the home of Leonardo da Vinci. Invited to come and live in France by King Francois I, Leonardo da Vinci settled at Le Clos Luce in 1516.  Leonardo da Vinci happily lived in this residence for the last three years of his life, painting and working on his passions.  Leonardo da Vinci creations and his main inventions are displayed in a garden setting - Parc Leonardo da Vinci.  I was amazed and taken away by what I saw.  One word to describe the place "Wow!".

The Beach

Photos of the beach, I’m embracing summer memories on the beach.

Time to breathe In the bustle of life.  In the pressure of decisions, peace has become a luxury.  Take it when it comes, and cherish it.  It gives you the time to breathe.  It gives you rest and hope and life.

Pam Brown 1928

… there’s the real danger of overlooking a very important day… today. For this is the place and the time for living. Let us live each day abundantly and beautifully while it is here.

Taking Time To Just Be

Look to the day!  For it is life, the very life of life.  In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence: the bliss of growth, the glory of action. the splendour of beauty.  For yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.  Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.
