Without compassion, we will never know anyone or anything, not even our own story. Too much judgment, too many ideas and attitudes will stand in the way of the fundamental principle that we are similar to, connected with, and part of everything else.
Deena Metzger
The most beautiful people we have know are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep, loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
(1926-2004)
Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful.
Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.

At a loss for words at the moment... so am just reflecting quietly until I find them again, or until they find me.

Good idea, you or they will :o) xxx
I love the 'minimalism' of the lights and their reflections in these photos - little sparks of colour and light in all that darkness. Beautiful.
I know what you mean. You are one of those beautiful people, btw.
Yes, like Mr. Gandi says; the answer is there. We just have to come up with the right question.
I really like your photos of the still water and the quiet night.
One needs to go into "hold-mode" sometimes.
The "question" will come upon you without you being aware...and the answer will follow.
You are indeed one of those beautiful people!!!
As always xxoo
so special . no words needed friend
I love that Deena Metzger quote. Do you know what's weird about that? Deena Metzger floated into my mind yesterday and then here's this quote. I love when that kind of thing happens even if I'm not totally sure why.
I think that you've captured little color stars in your night-time images. And these are lovely quotes. It's really important to take those times of suffering and spin them into gold. Otherwise, the suffering destroys us, bit by bit.
These are more than enough words for us all...
I am sure they will find you. I love the way you reflect your feelings through the quotes you choose and these indistinct photos-hard to tell wher the reflection begins. Thanks for your kind words the other day-they meant a lot. Take care. xx
I have just spent some time catching up with you.
As always, your words carry such meaning and beauty. The way you capture thoughts and put them onto paper is an art. I'm sure your own words will be back with you soon.
I wish you all that you would wish for yourself in 2011. I'm glad that you are giving Sparkle another chance.
