Growing
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
~William Butler Yeats~
As long as you're green, you're growing. As soon as you're ripe, you start to rot.
~Ray Kroc~
Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.
~Morihei Ueshiba~

The pics were beautiful. I enjoyed the quotes too. I especially liked the life is growth quote. Every day is a chance to grow.

Very exotic plant - is it a proteus? The quotes are special, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts and pictures. I've always believed that growing/learning also keeps us young. The minute we say we're too old to learn something new, is the minute we sentence ourselves to old age.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am a quote lover.. and your amazing photos are just perfect!
