#37 Life

Flowing. Moving. Sustaining life itself.

#21 Adventure or Nothing

This is the sentence that I quote the most. This is the quote I live by.

 It's tatooed in my brain, front and center.

#17 Breath of Life

Throughout 'The Prophet', Gibran often speaks of nature's life giving essence.

 He paints the picture so eloquently with words that we cannot help but see it with fresh eyes.

Today



That's how fast tomorrow becomes yesterday.  So I guess the point is - why worry so much. It's all history before we know it.

All At Once

It seems as it is that a lot of times things do happen all at once. Like when you've got nothing special planned for weeks on end, then suddenly you've got six things to do on one weekend. So what about that, Albert?!

Not Yet

Well ... actually, this is the first day of spring and the flowers are most definitely saying 'Not yet!'. And
in regard to winter being over, we are also hearing "not yet".  Life is filled with "Not Yets".

Time Unfolds

The word of the week is TIME.  I'm in a crunch this week, trying to squeeze more minutes out of the day.  Even 'unfolding' is too fast for me - I need it to go in reverse for a wee while

Life to Everything

I sometimes wonder why I am so drawn to water, being a farm girl raised in heart of the country. As a child I gravitated to the creek, as a teenager to the lake, and now it is the sea that calls me. There seems to be an inate pull to water for most of us - a connection to life.

Born Again

It looks like I was 'peeping Tomming' these folks, but I don't take pictures of windows of house where people live. I'm drawn to the ones whose families have left them.  The curtains here speak of better days and perhaps the chance of a new morning.

To Live is Rare

An Oscar Wilde quote in honour of St. Patrick's Day. Bless his Irish heart, he had a lot of wisdom to share.  I guess things weren't much different back in his day.

Day by Dragging Day

This seems like a kind of dark and heavy thing to say ... the 'day by dragging day' part.  That's why I picked the gray photo. The jist and sentiment behind it is relevant, even though he didn't come up with a very upbeat way to share it.

Own Sun

I like thinking about the fact that I can steer my own day. Even a gloomy day I can illuminate from within. And if I'm going to design my own day, every single one is going to have a glorious sunset.

Sacred and Fragrant

Spring is a week today, but we are still in the throes of winter. Life is indeed sacred, but I am getting hungry for blossoms and fragrance. The lovely thing about photographs, it brings it back and keeps us going until it's reality again.

Live All Your Days

There is a difference in living and LIVING.  LIVE until you die.  Good advice all around.

#52 Land of Life

What a wise fellow old Albert was. It IS a beautiful land of life. And it is particularly wonderful to share the joy of it with people you love.

Keep Moving

I was drawn to this old bicycle leaning up against an ancient stone house in Ireland. I love old bikes, stone houses and happy red geraniums in old black kettles. And I love Ireland!

The Secret

Thank goodness for beginnings. Our life would be sad and sorrowful indeed if it was made up of mostly endings. Open any door and surely, behind it there will be another beginning in some way, shape or form. 

Act More

There's an old house at the end of our road in Newfoundland, that I have been taking photos of for the past seven years.  I was so happy to find for the first time, that there was a way to get into it this past trip. I was acting more by discovering what was inside it, instead of always just contemplating its past.

#41 Pleasant Things

I definitely subscribe to this philosophy. In fact, I visit all kinds of wonderful and pleasant places in my mind - instant vacation. The spot in this photo is a particularly pleasant spot that I get to visit in real time too - it's at the end of our road on Salt Harbour Island, Newfoundland.
