Just Try

"Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such." -Henry Miller





Beautiful and powerful quote, and I absolutely LOVE dahlias. These are stunning with their pretty pink edges. Thank you!
Keep the Pink Rolling Swirly Girl!
Gorgeous quote and OH so true. Thanks for the pick-me-up.
Hi Christine,
Last night we installed WiFi at our friend’s house so I am properly back online and don’t have to sneak in some minutes at internet cafe. Finally getting a chance to catch up with your posts and it’s great to see you’re back in the swing of things.
I love your last couple of photos. Autumn is my favorite season and you have captured the colours beautifully. What a wonderful eye you have
Take care, Kerstin
Luscious image!
I love the quote- lovely and joyful photo.
Discovered you through Maria’s blog (believe street). Delish! (oh no, one more blog i’ll want to read regularly; i’ll never leave my computer!)
I read this Henry Miller quote earlier tonight; a nice companion to yours methinks:
“The moment one gives close attention to any thing – even a blade of grass – it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”
Yum yum, double yum.
