Intriguing Article about Nature

https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/05/01/nature-is-a-bastard/

Patrick West, the author of this article made me think of Nature in a different way.

I may agree or disagree with whatever he says but what I liked is the fact that he made me think in a different way, a different perspective of looking at things....of how they are, of how they are meant to be....

That's why this article seemed unusual to me and hence I chose to share it with you.

Have a read when you can....

L and R,
APARNA

And now, as always, before I take leave of you, here are some nice, inspiring quotes for you.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. - Joseph Addison

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. - Oprah Winfrey

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. - George S. Patton

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. - T.S. Eliot

If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. - George S. Patton

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book. - Ronald Reagan

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. - George S. Patton

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. - Ronald Reagan

You will never be the best at anything, if you never do your best at something. - Auliq Ice

If there is a heaven and hell, then I wonder, are the people in heaven asking God to forgive and stop the suffering of those burning in hell? And if not, what does that say about the people in heaven? - Jason Bourke

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. - George S. Patton

You are just as attached to what you hate as what you love. - Domo Geshe

Just sitting here thinking about life; it really is too short to waste it on nonsense and things that aren't gonna matter to you 10 years from now. We all should be working towards leaving a legacy and leaving stuff for our kids and grandkids, and being remembered years after we're gone. If you died right now, would you be happy with the life you lived? - Evan Stark

From death springs life and from the graves of great patriots springs a great nation. - Patrick Henry Pearse

Happy Sharing :-)
L and R, Aparna

Autumn is here

The trees are shedding their leaves and the streets are littered with the remnants of their withering lives.

Winter is fast approaching and the cold winter I'm dreading as I've always liked the summers here.

Not that all the days are nice and warm in summer but we make the most of those days when it's wonderful weather here - lovely long hours of warm sunshine - nice, bright and sunny :-)

Far better than the icy, cold winters of lashing rain, strong winds and snowy blizzards.

Though last year, it was a bit better as it didn't snow here in Essex. Don't know about this year.

Heavy snow makes the roads dangerous to drive. Very slippery road conditions. Even walking is a pain.

One never knows when one could lose balance and slip on melting snow and then of course, with broken limbs, you have nowhere to go ;-) but sit tight in bed to recuperate - life becomes so slow.

Hence, praying that you and me and all out there have a safer Winter - esp. those who live in places where it snows heavily.

Well, is this all the reason why I've come to you today?!

No, not to talk all about the dreary winter that is going to come anyway whether we like it or loathe it.

There is a lot more I need to share with you.

Here is a slideshow of Spring - Summer Blossoms 2014 that I clicked in our home garden and also in our nearby Chalkwell Park.

Hope you enjoy the show.

Happy viewing and Happy sharing :-)

Love always,
As ever, AC

Beautiful

It's a
Beautiful
Day :-)
Today

Don't want to
Let it go away

But as all
Good things
Come to an
End, this would
Too, my dear friend

(Today was a beautiful, sunny day here in UK)





Your

Your face
Comes to me
And I smile :-)

Wish you were
Here forever...
For me to smile

(wrote this poem thinking of Kishore's hilarious songs)






Feel

I feel
Good
When I
Write to
Him

Nothing
Else
Makes
Me feel
So good

Maybe,
He's my
Shelter
And I
Seek
Refuge
In him
