“As long as I live,
I’ll hear waterfalls and birds
and winds sing.
I’ll interpret the rocks,
learn the language of flood,
storm, and the avalanche.
I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers
and wild gardens,
and get as near the heart
of the world as I can.”
~ John Muir
Greetings! Here is a challenge that provides a pleasant diversion from regular posting. It has no thought-provoking questions to answer and no need to dig any deeper than the tip of your tongue. Whether your blog is fashion, food, art, poetry, photography, fiction, or non….everyone has quotes that impact them, in my opinion. Perhaps you will take a moment to share those quotes with others by accepting this challenge. It’s really very simple, actually.
I have Shamira to thank for this well-deserved break. Her blog, http://smilingnotes.wordpress.com is like food for the soul. In it she shares her love of food and travel through a category entitled “FoodVentures” where her experiences of dining out take on new meaning. Ask Shamira about the yummilicious “Wafels & Dinges” cart throughout New York City!
🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
The Rules of this Challenge are:
– Post 1 quote a day for 3 days (can be your own or from other sources).
– Nominate 3 bloggers to participate per post.
– Thank the person who nominated you.

Keep Calm, Eat Waffles, and Post a Quote! 🍓
“Just imagine becoming the wayyou used to be
as a very young child,
before you understood
the meaning of any word,
before opinions took over your mind.
The real you is loving,
joyful, and free.
The real you is just like a flower,
just like the wind,
just like the ocean,
just like the sun.”
~ Miguel Angel Ruiz
“There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old,
and the same today as it has ever been.
The great traditional buildings of the past,
the villages and tents and temples
in which man feels at home,
have always been made by people
who are very close to the
center of this way.”
~ Christopher Alexander
“A career is like a house; it’s made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.”~ Andrea Bocelli
“Life is a series of steps.
Things are done gradually.
Once in awhile there is a giant step,
but most of the time we are taking small,
seemingly insignificant steps
on the stairway of life.”
~ Ralph Ransom
“She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me.
I ought never to have run away from her…
I ought to have guessed all the affection
that lay behind her poor little stratagems.
Flowers are so inconsistent!
But I was too young to know how to love her…”
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
The Little Prince
“Even without seeing the crickets,
grasshoppers, cicadas, and katydids,
we hear them shrilling in this season
and trust that they’re the tiny
living gargoyles entomologists claim.”
~ Diane Ackerman
“Everyone wants instant everything,and they want instant success,
but I always think you should
treat things in the Arts
like a garden,
and let them grow.”
~ Penelope Keith
