    Oh..I always love your thoughts for the week – but this one from the Gita speaks to me. Wonderful!

    I didn’t know that thistle could be so beautiful. Still a bit like a porcupine, ready to prick.

    I like your thought for the week Cherie… and the Thistle has a most beautiful flower… but they are very difficult to pick a bouquet of them:)….peter:)

    A perfect quote and image for the new week, Cherry. I agree with Marcie, loving your thoughts for the Week! :)

      I am glad you are enjoying them :-) They all come from two books. I do have a third book that has suitable quotes for the collection, so I will add those two.

    It does.

    (which is all I want to say but again, it is “too short” to be accepted, so… It does).

    #. The purer the mind, the easier it is to control. Purity of the mind must be insisted upon if you would control it…..

    It seems to me that too much control may be wrong, the mind sometimes needs its room to manoeuvre.
    The thistle is beautiful, the depth of field is just perfect! :)
