This Is Our Job

"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy."

 ― Thomas Merton

This quote gives me goose bumps..... could you imagine the world if we all LOVED each other?

What a wonderful world it would be!

Strands in the Web Of Life

 The Earth does not belong to man; Man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

Spider in His Web - with Droplets

You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.

~ Andy Warhol

Oh, Andy, you were right on the money with that quote!  And I DO get thrilled with the "little things"  - even tiny spiders - and this one WAS TINY!  

Connected

When people go within and connect with themselves, they realize they are connected to the universe and they are connected to all living things.

- Armand Dimele

The Morning Dew of Wonder

Tomorrow the sun will also rise to the occasion of another day with equal grandeur. Such is the nature of that morrow which today has already seen, yet it greets us each time afresh with the morning dew of wonder in its eyes.

~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Crafted By Nature

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

~ William Blake

Delicate Drape

When you are describing,

A shape, or sound, or tint;

Don't state the matter plainly,

But put it in a hint;

And learn to look at all things,

With a sort of mental squint.

~Lewis Carroll

Threads in Nature's Tapestry

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.- Richard Feynman

Over the Rainbow

 I am quite fascinated by the spider art (ie, webs) I find when I am out for my morning walk.  This one had a rainbow of colors which were actually flowers/leaves that were located behind the web.

Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.

At the Center of It All

One amazing morning I went out in search of webs ~ and I found them!

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. 
~André Gide

On A Summer Saturday

The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

~ Pablo Picasso

Simplicity

Simplicity is the glory of expression.
Walt Whitman

Unique Strands

Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.

Dew on a Web

There isn't any such thing as an ordinary life. 
 ― L.M. Montgomery 

 Nature has such special wonders....if we only stop to look.

 Try to find a bit of the "extra" in the "ordinary" and you will find the Extraordinary.

Delicate but Strong

I found what I think is a web during one of our

excursions.   It looks delicate, but I know it is strong.

I "zoomed in" so the pic is not as sharp

but I think you can see it a bit better.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a "fuzzy" that had floated and was caught between these branches.

After I looked at it on the computer, I realized it was "attached" to the branches.

If this isn't a web perhaps it's a "casing" of some sort. 

Nature amazes me daily! 

FROSTY MORNINGS

Brrrrrrrr!

Experience The Mysterious

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the source of all true art and science.
