Where beauty is -

there rests the soul.

Lacy...

 

 

Something lacy and European in Savannah, or is it Hungarian?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Savannah...

 

 

What says Savannah better than tree lined lanes with lots of Spanish Moss?

 

What I didn't realize was Savannah's role in liberating the 13 Colonies from the British.

They played a huge part in gaining our Independence.

Very interesting!

Grounded...

 

 

 

These solid, sturdy, dependable mountains,

remind me of the

wild, rolling ocean,

wave after wave after wave.

 

Except they are very much more grounded than the airy, watery ocean waves.

Are You Having Fun?

 

 

Up and down,

up and down.

These steps take you down to the river

or up into town..

 

(The red pill or the blue pill?)

 

Life or just getting by?

 

It's not that simple, is it - up or down?

Life is everywhere!

In the murmuring river below,

or the busy street above,

and in between - say, the 14th step,

it's everywhere.

 

In our smallest moments and our largest,

and everywhere in between,

this is it,

the stuff of our lives.

 

Are you having fun yet?

Sturdy Mountains

 

 

These solid, sturdy, dependable mountains,

remind me of the

wild, rolling ocean,

wave after wave after wave.

A Different Perspective

 

 

Getting to a higher place, where you can look down on a situation,

clears the mind and helps you to see your place in the larger scheme of things.

 

Your sense of self importance is brought back to reality

and you can smile and carry on.

 

It doesn't have to be an actual mountain, or high hill,

you can do this in the comfort of your own home,

in your beautiful mind.
