Gracefully Falling

But we have to learn to be free.

Doesn’t mean happy all the time, or okay all the time.

It’s okay not to be okay. I told you that, but I’m relearning it myself.

But not being okay doesn’t mean you stop living.

Jasinda Wilder

Fly Away

We were young, we were wild, we were restless

Had to go, had to fly, had to get away

Took a chance on that feelin’

We were lovin’ blind borderline wreckless

We were livin’ for the minute we were spinnin’ in

Baby we were a lot of things, but we weren’t crazy

Josh Gracin

His Selfless Love

The sun never says to the earth: ‘You owe me.

His selfless love illuminates the sky.

Hafiz

Becoming Happier

Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Luther Burbank

Just Bloom

If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.

Visual

It looks different seeing yourself on the big screen.

Blooming

One day you will look back and see that all along, you were blooming

Bloom

Choose what helps your heart bloom

Butterfly

Let go of the past

Trust the future

Embrace change

Come out of the cocoon

Unfurl your wings

Dare to get off the ground

Ride the breezes

Savor the flowers

Put on your brightest colors

Let your beauty show.

Just Live It

Life is too deep for words, so don’t try to describe it, just live it.

C. S. Lewis

Ray of Beauty

Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities in the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Earth’s Blessings

You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.”

Walter Hagen

Smell the Flower

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a man cannot live without love.

Max Muller

Glitters

“It’s not what you have on the outside that glitters in light,

it’s what you have on the inside that shines in the dark.”

― Anthony Liccione

The Whole World is Garden

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”– 

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Travel

Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.

Travel,
because if you don’t travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.

Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.

Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside.

Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.

Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.

Gio_Evan, poet and songwriter.

The Wooden Bridge

This bridge will only take you halfway there

To those mysterious lands you long to see

Shel Silverstein
The wooden bridge. We went there to observe this bridge. Its not so stable, yet people are passing through it randomly, and we even saw some motorbikes were running so fast. They are not scared. But we were scared, thought it will break anytime. 
We loved the scenery though.  The river water was not so deep. The boats are sailing. People are doing their jobs upon the river bank. Ahh! What a beautiful breeze by the bank of this river Korotoa.
