And Then We Snapped - Week #28

This week was a bit of a struggle. I'm sick of the gray skies and being stuck inside. I'm bit board with photography this week. I need to do something to shake it up a bit and I'm working on finding inspiration. I know that warm weather would help but right now that doesn't look like an option. The good thing about taking daily photos as long as I have is I know that I will pull out of this funk if I just stick to it! Here are my favorite photos from this past week, some I sought out and some that found me. 

“All I’ve ever done is dream. That, and only that, has been the meaning of my existence. The only thing I’ve ever really cared about is my inner life. My greatest griefs faded to nothing the moment I opened the window onto my inner self and lost myself in watching.

I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer. I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.”

― Fernando Pessoa

“Time is

Too Slow for those who Wait,

Too Swift for those who Fear,

Too Long for those who Grieve,

Too Short for those who Rejoice;

But for those who Love,

Time is not.”

― Henry van Dyke

"Listen to the wind, it talks.

Listen to the silence, it speaks.

Listen to your heart, it knows.”

-Native American Proverb

“You were born with potential. 

You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. 

You were born with wings. 

You are not meant for crawling, so don't. 

You have wings. 

Learn to use them and fly.” 

― Rumi

“Birds scream at the top of their lungs in horrified hellish rage every morning at daybreak to warn us all of the truth, but sadly we don't speak bird.” 

― Kurt Cobain

“If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.” 

― Annie Leibovitz

“Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way.” 

― Aberjhani
