A blue bird



If you walk into a forest - you hear all kinds of subtle sounds - but underneath there is an all pervasive silence.
– Eckert Tolle





I had drawn this picture from my blog friend's photo http://birdsfod.blogspot.in - Thanks Bob!

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
– Thomas Merton, Trappist monk [Roman Catholic]


Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
– Albert Schweitzer

Have a lovely week everyone!
