Even if your heart is broken. Your soul is shadowed. Your mind is filled with clutter. It will pass. Nature takes care of her own. Embrace her will.

The truth cloaked in elegance. Thank you for this Maria!?
Thank you kindly, Darlene :)!
Maria, these simple sentences have so much beauty, grace, wisdom, and power to them. The view of the sailboat on crystal blue seas is breathtaking.
Thank you so much, Joel – it was such a perfect day for us. Reminded me of my childhood sailing trips. The tranquillity of the sea is breathtaking.
You’re welcome, Maria. The sea looked so inviting. I”m surprised no birds flew overhead. Within the past year, I have fallen in love with the sea and my friends the birds.
:) There were actually plenty of birds, but in the open sea, it takes much longer to catch one on the same frame. We passed islands that were full of different kinds of seabirds sitting side by side enjoying the sun. They were fun to watch! We were hoping to see a seal as well, they are usually along this path but unfortunately did not glimpse one at this time.
There is nothing like the sea, the skies and the birds
That was a powerful statement, and an encouragement Maria… Thank you.
It also reminded me of the following two quotes by Khalil Gibran:
“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Thank you, Jonathan! Such a perfect quote :) – exactly as we should feel. One cannot feel a loss if one has not cared. Nature cares, even in its rawest form it only transforms to live and let live.
Absolutely inspiring my friend. Strong Ink with Amazing Imagery.
Thank you so much, Larry – it is such a joy to sail. There is something magical about the oceans and being carried by the winds. The soul rests while the mind is occupied managing the elements of nature.
