Celebration

"Life is a celebration of passionate colors..."

Life

The Sun Suspended

Breaking Through the Fog

Awash With Light

"Life is in the clouds:
 great life,
 broad life,
deep life,
elevated life."

 ~ Hawaiian Proverb

Fog and light at this dawn. (Photo)

So, the thick fog lets the sun through. Suspended, breathless, in the glorious silver white morning.

With each second, more beauty. How can I be so lucky to see this apparition?

Now the sun has broken through in absolute madness. Bright, washing everything with gold light. The world radiates.

Up to You

"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you." 

~ Richard Bach

Cool morning. Light fog. Many birds singing... & the pale pink dawn. Aloha World! Photo

Listen to the sounds of morning! Video

Yearning

"Yearning is essential to all real learning."

Summer

"For the laughter of children

 who tumble barefooted and bareheaded

in the summer grass."

 ~ Carl Sandburg

Victories

"There are victories of the soul and spirit.  

Sometimes, even if you lose, you win."
~ Elie Wiesel

Spectacular, beautiful morning with hazy sun rays, gentle fog in cove, and my stunning bright beautiful sun ablaze in creative light... So with this sunrise photo comes the question: How can you not shine? 


Share your light.

Beauty

"Should you shield the canyons
from the windstorms,
you would never see
 the beauty of their carvings."

 ~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, 

Tunnel & the Light

A Friend

"A friend is one that knows you
 as you are,
understands where you have been,
 accepts what you have become,
and still, gently allows you to grow."

~ William Shakespeare

Dream

"Dream, dream, dream;

dream transforms into thoughts

 and thoughts result in action.

You have to dream

before your dreams can come true."

 ~ Abdul Kalam

Sunrise through my roses

Big bold sun, ball of fire & creativity, angel dangling in the tree, winking at me. 


Aloha, I say.
Again. 
Dream Aloha.

Darkness

"What I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness."
~ M. C. Escher

Declare

"You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare."
~ Georgia O'Keeffe

Good News

"Everyone has inside himself a piece of good news! The good news is that you really don't know how great you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is!" ~ Anne Frank




My Sky Fog, My Prayers Peace. (Photo)


Someone has silver on the paintbrush this morning. Drama! (Photo)


Watched, transfixed, as the fog swirled away and let my sun in. Remarkable experience. 

Passion

"Search then the ruling passion:
This clue, once found,
unravels all the rest."
 ~ Alexander Pope

Listening to Birds at Dawn: (Photo)

Oh my goodness. Someone tipped the RED paint onto the sky. Now everything is stained! (Photo)

Red Fire Ribbons Sky (Photo)

(Please wake up Asheville and look at the red sky. I am afraid my camera can't capture all the colors.)

Sounds & Colors: (Video)

Now. Spill some gold on the sky... (Photo)  


All I hear is Stevie Wonder singing, "There's a ribbon in the sky for our love." (YouTube video) ❥❥❥❥

Contemplation

"Find delight in contemplation."
~ St. Augustine

Perhaps

"Perhaps I am stronger than I think." 

~ Thomas Merton

Thick Skin

"Just pray for a thick skin and a tender heart."
 ~ Ruth Graham

Surprise

"Poetry should surprise by a fine excess, 

and not by singularity; 

it should strike the reader 

as a wording of his own highest thoughts, 

and appear almost a remembrance."

 ~ John Keats

My home and cove below are drenched in fog right now, with very little visibility. But for a breath of a second, a flash of magic and wonder, I had this gift of color and light. Surprise and delight...

Principal

"Learn the principle,

abide by the principle,

and dissolve the principle.

In short,
enter a mold without being caged in it.

Obey the principle

 without being bound by it.

Learn, Master, and Achieve!"

~ Bruce Lee

"Rapture" on Draw Something

The wild wind is causing havoc in my sky; the clouds are possessed. High drama... (Photo) 


I am having fun playing "Draw Something" on my iPad. Yesterday I drew this, and yes, it was immediately guessed as "rapture" by my friend, Zoe who is my fellow Sunrise Sister.
