“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” ― Henri Cartier-Bresson

Xtra Thoughts

April 23

All I have is today, this moment, now. I can spend this moment making it the best moment yet with fearlessness, trust, courage, confidence, faith and love or I can waste it with doubt, anxiety, worry, regret, anger, fear, distress and hurt. Knowing that whichever way I choose determines the experiences I will have, I choose to use the opportunity of each moment to live my life to the fullest, always choosing love.

–Carol A James

Those who enjoy the greatest lives are not extraordinary people, or even ordinary people with something added. They are not necessarily the wealthiest or most professionally acclaimed. Those who sparkle with aliveness are ordinary people with nothing taken away. They have not lost their wonder of the moment. They cherish the presence of a friend; they marvel when a child takes their hand. They find a gift in each moment of living.

–Mary Manin Morrissey

I choose to love others, as God would. This means no severe judging, no resentments, no malicious gossip, no destructive criticism.

–Sweety Zee

Creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in the bud. Any of us will put out more and better ideas if our efforts are appreciated.

–Alexander F. Osborn

Forgiveness is a not a gift we give to the other person, rather, God’s gift to us.

–Unknown

God goes ahead of us, preparing the way.

Sing, Be, Live, See. This dark stormy hour, The wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain: O war and power, You blind and blur, The torn heart cries out in pain.

But music and singing Have been my refuge, And music and singing Shall be my light. A light of song, Shining Strong: Alleluia! Through darkness, pain, and strife, I’ll Sing, Be, Live, See… Peace.

FEATHERS

I sent you a little white feather

I placed it right there in your way

I wrapped it in love with a message

to let you know you’ll be okay

I drew you a colourful rainbow

It followed your car for a while

I made a spectacular rainbow

I hoped it would show me your smile

I flew down a beautiful robin

It landed right there on your ledge

I prayed he would give you the strength

to push yourself back from the edge

I try every day to remind you

that I never did go away

the feathers, the rainbows, the robins

are my way of trying to stay.
