“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
~ Marc Riboud
I’ll keep it short and sweet today. If we get a good night’s sleep, that leaves us 16 hours in a day, 960 minutes, 57,600 seconds. Times that by a hundredth.
There are almost too many split seconds to count. May you savor as many of those split seconds, minutes and hours as you can today …. I know I’m going to ♥
And happy birthday Mom!
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
~ Ansel Adams
I patiently and lovingly waited to see if mother nature would create another spectacular display this morning. I had a cosmic giggle, as the single beam of light heralded through the thick layers of clouds. “God … I’m here, I’m here .. !!”.
LOL …. But in all seriousness, I do think this is how it will appear when my time comes to rejoin the cosmic universe.
“Beautiful tomorrow never comes,
For when it comes, it’s already today …
In the search for beautiful tomorrow,
Don’t lose your wonderful today …”
Holy Camole !!! You’d think after living here for 20+ years, that I’d learn not to rely on the Puerto Rico weatherman. Here I was ‘expecting’ crystal clear skies … Needless to say, I was a bit surprised to find cloudy skies once again this morning …
But WOW !! The layers of clouds produced one of the most beautiful sunrises to date. I was having a tough time choosing between 2 photos (to be posted later), when Spencer got up to refresh his coffee, and yelled … Get over here …. Look at the sky now!!
“I asked the leaf whether it was frightened because it was
autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me,
“No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely
alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much
of me is in the tree. I am not limited by this form. I am also
the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue
to nourish the tree. So I don’t worry at all. As I leave this
branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell
her, ‘I will see you again very soon.’”
“The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.”
~ Michael Jordan
While yoga teaches us to find equanimity and balance in any situation, I can’t help but feel the extra spring in my spirit now that our beautiful sunrise is back! The next couple of days are supposed to be very dry on the back side of that Saturn storm, so the sunrises should be crystal clear. And wow, the rise time is moving fast … Down from 6:40ish last Monday to 6:30 today. I almost missed it !!
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
Today’s photo is of a different perspective here from the villa. Why? Because the normal view out over Sir Frances Drake Channel was just downright gloomy with clouds from Winter Storm Saturn. I didn’t want to feel gloomy today.
