Open Up A Window


When at last I took the time to look

into the heart of a flower,

it opened up a whole new world..

as if a window had been opened

to let

in the sun.

-Princess Grace of Monaco

    Lovely! and it reminded me of such a special moment looking into a flower that I've just got to tell you about it... it was a blown out iceberg rose, nothing special to look at, but in its center was a tiny,tiny bug luxuriating in the stamens...and at that moment i realized that even the 'mundane' is the entire universe for someone!!

    I love your new thang of putting up quotes like these. I really like seeing which quotes you pick out.

    This is a lovely one. Flowers, open windows and sunshine.....you can't go wrong with those in a quote, can you?!

    Good morning precious Michelle! It is so lovely to see your beautiful smile on my comments page this morning! Oh, the weekend is coming! Any plans for FUN? I am visiting a dear blogger pal who lives in my city....Suzanne from Privet and Holly!!! I think you may know her. She is a fine writer and dear artist of the heart. Wouldn't it be so lovely to have a WORLD BLOG REUNION? Ohhhh...the thought makes me smile.

    Have a lovely day, Anita
