The Butterfly

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued,

 is always just beyond your grasp, but which, 

if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Leaves

Nature will bear the closest inspection. 

She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, 

and take an insect view of its plain.

Henry David Thoreau

Serene Sunsets

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Rabindranath Tagore

The Horizon

Never look down to test the ground 

before taking your next step; 

only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon

 will find the right road.

Dag Hammarskjold

Oh Deer!

In the race between lion and deer.

 Many times the deer wins.

Because the lion runs for food

and the deer for life.

Remember,

 purpose is more important than need

Jewelry is never enough

Jewelry takes people's minds off your wrinkles. 

 Sonja Henie

 

 

Ducks

Behold the duck.
It does not cluck.
A cluck it lacks.
It quacks.
It is specially fond
Of a puddle or pond.
When it dines or sups,
It bottoms ups.

Ogden Nash

The Majestic Tiger

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 

William Blake 

 

Innocent Expressions

The laughter of the child is the light at home

 

Summer Splash

Nothing else beats a hot summer day like a splash of water

 

Vibrant Peacock

The sparrow is sorry for the peacock at the burden of his tail.
-Rabindranath Tagore
