Grass: Not Just a Weed

“There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.” -John Calvin

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for you soul is alive.” -Eleonora Duse

“I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.” -Whoopi Goldberg

“I’ve always said that one night, I’m going to find myself in some field somewhere, I’m standing on grass, and it’s raining, and I’m with the person I love, and I know I’m at the very point I’ve been dreaming of getting to.” -Drew Barrymore

No time for words of my own today. Every now and then I am reminded that I do in fact have a day job that requires some attention. Today is one of those days and I fear that tomorrow will be the same.

Note to self: Inhale. Exhale. Breathe.

renee @ FIMBY - jobs… pesky little inconveniences

Thanks for the reminder that my soul is alive.

Jennifer - Thanks for sharing these beautiful images even though you are busy with other responsibilities.

I love the contrasts between water and sky and sand and grass and rocks and driftwood. I long for the day we live near the ocean.

PS ~ You (and others) have inspired me. I picked up 12 Secrets at the library today!
