Collaboration for Peace – 26

Candy and I hope you find some time to slow down and marvel at the everyday bumps in your life.

Ordinary Marvels

 

I longed for beauty –

collecting it in the things

and people surrounding me

filling the shelves of

my life with shiny knick-knacks

discarding anyone, anything

that didn’t sparkle

and when the glimmer, shimmer, glow

began to fade – showing itself

a temporary pleasure

I began to wonder at the

ordinary – to marvel at the

bumps and thorns that

make life real

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.“

~Omar Khayyam~

__________________________________________________________________________

This is my final post for the “3 Days 3 Quotes Challenge”.

Thank you to unexpectedincommonhours. Check out her blog!

I enjoyed the challenge, as it wasn’t overly time consuming and gave me a chance to use some favourite photos I had stored in my archives.  Since many do not wish to take part in these challenges, I have decided to open this up a bit.

My nominees are:

1. A blogger who would like to post 3 quotes.

2.  A blogger who would like to post their own 3 quotes.

3.  A blogger who would like to post 3 quotes with their own photography.

If one of these speaks to you,  I look forward to your response!

Have fun!!!

Currents

You can be part of the flow
The current that carries
So many souls in transit
Searching for truth
Sailing for certainty
Or you can finally let go
Abandon this ship
This mere mission of clarity

For life is not a search
Life is the water
The waves caressing the rock
The ripples of rhythm
Keeping time with your heart
The sun on your face
Warming your skin
In this very moment
