Some days, when it seems like yet another dark hole is ripped into our world, I just can't find my own words to say all that I wish I could say. So I'll just leave you with some wiser words from others:
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
The Talmud
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
Helen Keller
I'm going to stop thinking too much about things now, and hopefully go channel some of this angst into some sort of art.
*Peace*Love*Light*
Let it be...
Hi Tink,
Those are two wonderful quotes I've read often, but seeing them in these wee hours of the early early morn when sleep is elusive, brings me some needed comfort.
Thank you (and looking 4ward 2 seeing the art you create)

Very wise words indeed.
Here in the UK I've not been listening to the news much but even so it has leaked into my consciousness... dark days indeed...

I'm at a loss for words, too. We all need a little bright ray of sunshine and you have provided it with these two quotes plus I think I could sit and look at that photo for a long time....it's so peaceful and calming.

Well chosen sentiments.I find my normally very verbal world at a loss for words in the past couple of days. Emotions run the gamut. I love this photo - it's immediately evokes a feeling of calmness, peace and quiet.
Love and light,
Lisa
XOXO

Your photo of that lovely pond reminds me of the pond at the UC Davis Arboretum. A place within walking distance of our house...a place I go to find what you were seeking here...solace.
