“There is a Fountain of Youth:
it is your mind, your talents,
the creativity you bring
to your life and the lives
of people you love.
When you learn to tap this source,
you will truly have defeated age.”
~ Sophie Loren

The Seeds of Humanity
“By cultivating the beautiful,
we scatter the seeds of
heavenly flowers; as by
doing good, we cultivate
those that belong to humanity.”
~ Robert A. Heinlein
A Rose is a Rose
“If you truly love nature,
you will find beauty
everywhere.”
~ Vincent Van Gogh
Out of the Dark, Beauty Appears
“Whether one believes in a religion or not,
and whether one believes
in rebirth or not,
there isn’t anyone who doesn’t
appreciate kindness and compassion.”
~ Dalai Lama
Look Up Through the Treetops
“The sensitive ear of the musician
detects a certain musical note
in every city which is different
from that of another city.
He hears in each little brook
a new melody, and to him
the sound of wind
in the treetops of different forests
give a varying sound.”
~ Max Heindel
The Bare Beauty of Logs
“The quiet rhythmic monotone
of the wall of logs
fills one with the rustic peace
of a secluded nook
in the woods.”
~ Gustav Stickley
The Beauty in Glass
“That we find a crystal
or a poppy beautiful
means that we are less alone,
that we are more deeply inserted
into existence than
the course of a single life
would lead us to believe.”
~ John Berger
It’s Those Unexpected Pleasures…..
Life is filled with unexpected blessings. My husband and I took a leisurely day trip wandering country roads in search of sweet bakery treats freshly served al fresco. We picnicked on apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and creme-filled puffs of dough washed down with a thirst-quenching icy apple cider slushy. Moments later, the owner of the orchard invited us to take a sneak peak at the outdoor preparations for a wedding happening around the pond later that afternoon. We were swept away on his four-wheel golf cart to capture romance in progress. Blessings!
The Beauty of a Peony
“I want to encourage women
to embrace their own
uniqueness. Because just like
a rose is beautiful, so is a
sunflower, so is a peony. I
mean, all flowers are beautiful
in their own way, and that’s
like women, too.”
~ Miranda Kerr
