There Is, Perhaps, No Solitary Sensation So Exquisite As That Of Slumbering On The Grss Or Hay, Shaded

Take your time to be friendly -

It is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream -

It is hitching your wagon to a star.

Take time to love and to be loved -

It is the privilege of the gods.

Take time to look around -

It is too short a day to be selfish .

Take time to laugh -

It is the music of the soul.

OLD ENGLISH PRAYER

We stopped at a view point in the hills to admire the view, and this sheep came strolling towards me.  I had the chance to create heart-warming images.

Cite de l'Automobile National Museum, Mulhouse, France.It contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world.  Brothers Hans and Fritz Schlumpf built the Bugatti collection obsessively and quickly. During the summer of 1960, they acquired ten Bugattis, including two Type 57s and one Type 46 5-litre model. In addition the pair found three Rolls-Royces, two Hispano-Suizas and one Tatra. By the end of the summer, they had purchased 40 cars.  An impressive collection of cars!

Time To Breathe

In the bustle of life.  In the pressure of decisions, peace has become a luxury.  Take it when it comes, and cherish it.  It gives you the time to breathe.  It gives you rest and hope and life.

Pam Brown, B. 1928

Taking Time To Just Be

Look to the day!  For it is life, the very life of life.  In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence: the bliss of growth, the glory of action. the splendour of beauty.  For yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.  Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.

FROM THE SANSKRIT

‘The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of Right just before you.  Do not grasp at  the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.’

Robert Louis Stevenson  (1850 - 1894)

Breathe, drink, taste... Live in each season as it passes: Breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
