We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things are connected.

Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside awakens.

Jerry Yang

A Little Ray of Sunshine

PS: Although the quote fits my recent circumstances I am not being melancholy. I chose the quote because the rain started just as I stepped out of my house for a sunday afternoon walk. I almost changed my mind (about stepping out for a walk)…  I am glad I stuck with my plan I experienced some delightful pleasures along my walk including this beautiful display of pink standing in contrast with its surroundings.

Despite the rain being heavy at times I remained dry :-)

Rest a While with Me

I have a backlog of ideas and adventures to share on my blog. I hope to be back soon with regular blogging and catching up on my backlog :-)

But for now ‘Rest a While with Me‘.

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up… to more than I can be.

If you follow the link the photo (taken in May this year) shows the same bench a few years on. This particular bit of woodland holds a special charm for me :-)
