We inhabit ourselves without valuing ourselves, unable to see thathere, now, this very moment is sacred;
but once it's gone - its value is incontestable.
~Joyce Carol Oates
Oh, I am sooooo trying to value every moment!
Oh, I am sooooo trying to value every moment!
I totally agree with the words of Joyce Carol Oates. I like to us the old Latin variation "Carpe Diem".
ReplyDeleteYou bench looks like the perfect place for just that - to find that moment and to capture the day.
Thank you for "the plug"! ;-)
Ah, how beautiful of an area! So lush... it's almost unbelievably green!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the birds songs that one would hear sitting at this bench.
I think I recognize this little bench :-)
ReplyDeleteLet's stop for a while and watch the birds.
ReplyDeleteThis photo makes me want to be in it...sitting on the bench, reading a book or staring out at whatever it is facing.

ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting Rune's bench posts until I see yours every week.
It looks like one of those places where you tell someone to "meet me at the lovely bench in the park." :c) I'd love to sit there and chat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful peaceful looking spot Kerri... I'm sorry there's no benches from me this week... but I do have Fun With Fungi and a Horse and Quote on my blogs.
ReplyDeleteNice spot for quiet contemplation. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI would like to sit there and read a book!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a peaceful place to be alone with your thoughts and maybe a good book!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous area to sit on a bench and enjoy every moment! Lovely quote!
ReplyDeleteA truly evocative shot - one's imagination provides all sorts of possibilities; from a squirrel beneath the bench picking up left scraps, to a mother sitting for a few blissful moments of peace as she rocks the pram holding her sleeping baby....
