Paris Reflections

All That Mattered

 

"At these times, the things that troubled her seemed far away and unimportant: all that mattered was the hum of the bees and the chirp of birdsong, the way the sun gleamed on the edge of a blue wildflower, the distant bleat and clink of grazing goats."
―Alison Croggon, The Naming

In Silence

 

"It was rapture enough just to sit there beside him in silence, alone in the summer night in the white splendor of moonshine, with the wind blowing down on them out of the pine woods."
―L.M. Montgomery, The Blue Castle

Perfection

"The summer night is like the perfection of thought." -Wallace Stevens "The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm"

Numbered Days of Summer

"The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year – the days when summer is changing into autumn – the crickets spread the rumor of sadness and change."
―E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

For Approval

My friend Jerry posted this on his facebook page. I thought the comments that followed between he and Rose were hilarious. I asked Jerry for permission to repost. Here is his photo with comments.

Rose:  Is that my vacation request waiting for your approval? Lol

Jerry: Your entire life is a vacation. Denied. :=)

Rose: Obviously your still dreaming.

Jerry: No vacation for those who do not know the difference between your and you're! 


PS. Rose is Jerry's sister. Gotta love sibling chatter.

Wisdom and Peace
