Through thick and thin...

Thank you for the weekend!

Flowers always make peoplebetter, 

happier, and more helpful;

they are sunshine, food

and medicine for the soul.

Luther Burbank

Music moves souls...

Elaine Comparone plays Scarlatti

It is a cliché that most cliché are true,

but then like most clichés,

that cliché is untrue.

Stephen Fry

Just love what you are doing

and try to play more.

If you play the piano,

you havr to really love to play,

not just have a job.

My advice is to study all the time,

to develop repertoire,

and to really love music.

Just enjoy it!

Lang Lang

A peony is always the most adorable princess

at the ball...

I like trees because 

they are always happy to meet me

Rest and be thankful.

W. Wordsworth

We all play,

we all feel joy 

when we are calm.

Why don´t we just bring 

a bit of calm to our siblings?

Everywhere I have sought peace
and not found it,

except in a corner with a book.

Thomas à Kempis

The reader became the book

and summer night was

 the conscious being of the book.

Walace Stevens

Let´s start Friday.

Let´s say something nice.

Let´s write something sweet.

Let´s be the smile on someone else´s face.

Let´s sing a song of dee-bee-dee joy.

It is not lack of love,

but lack of friendship

that makes unhappy marriages.

F. Nietzsche

Trees are the Earth´s endless effort

to speak to the listening Heaven.

Rabindranath Tagore

You can judge a man´s true character

by the way he treats his fellow animals.

Paul McCartney

All his life he tried to be a good person.

Many times, however, he failed.

For after all, he was only human.

He wasn´t a dog.

Charles Schulz

Days feel so long...

We  need not enter the fray

with complexes and disillusion.

A prayer for the wild at heart

kept in cages.

Tennessee Williams

If the only prayer you said was thank you

that would be enough.

Meister Eckhart

Forgive me my nonsense

as I also forgive the nonsense

of those who think they talk sense.

Robert Frost

I cannot believe in a God

that wants to be praised all the time.

F. Nietzsche

Speak when you are angry 

and you will make the best speech 

you will ever regret...

Ambrose Bierce

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which is stored than to anything in which it is poured.

Mark Twain.

I don´t eat my siblings

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin.

It wasn´t meant to be,

and we have no right to do it.

A woman gains status when she refuses

to see anything killed to be put on her back.

Then she´s truly beautiful.

Doris Day

Who seeks shall find

Sophocles

Expect problems

and eat them

for breakfast.

Alfred A. Montapert

My cats keep me bewitched

Life is the flower

for which love is the honey.

I am not food,

I am a feeling creature.

Like you.

May you think about 

Daniel Redwood´s words:

With us, not for us.

To love, not to own.

If you are unable to find the truth

where you are,

where else do you expect to find it?

Dogen

Much bending breaks the bow,

much unbending breaks the mind.

Francis Bacon

I have begun several things many times,

and I have often succedeed at last.

I will sit down,

but the time will comes

when you will hear me.

Benjamin D´Israeli

He who keeps the hills

burns the wood;

he who keeps the streams

drinks the water.

Chinese Proverb

The wealth of a man is the number of things

which he loves and blesses,

which he is loved and blessed by.

Thomas Carlyle

Another advantage of being rich is that 

your oddities are called eccentricities...

Friends of a feather

flock together...

dreams keep me going
