The Landscape of Horses

“I call horses ‘Divine Mirrors’.

They reflect back

the emotions you put in. 

If you put in love,

and respect, and kindness,

and curiosity,

the horse will return that.”

~ Allan Hamilton 

Footsteps of the Mind

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, 

so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.

To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. 

To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over

the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

Listen to the Waterfall

“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

Keep Calm and Eat Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Waffles! 🍓 “Post a Quote Challenge!” 🍓

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.

The Open Arms of Love

“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

Timeless Shades of Romance

“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
