Secrets
Les véritables secrets d’un être
lui sont plus secrets
qu’ils ne le sont à autrui.
A man’s true secrets
are more secret to himself
than they are to others.
- Paul Valéry

A Shadow Fleeting
Beauty is ever to the lonely mind
a shadow fleeting;
she is never plain.
She is a visitor who leaves behind
the gift of grief,
the souvenir of pain.
— Christopher Morley

No Dogs Dancing?
Life is one big road with lots of signs.
So when you’re riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind.
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy.
Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality.
Wake Up and Live!
- Bob Marley
The Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says. Well, I’ve always wondered about this one…
Silent Sunday
In the Background
Just an untidy picture, right?
Do you the “nana”?
Or the haughty man with the sharp nose?
The chinwag?
And the shadow?
What do you see here?
Let a man get up and say,
Behold, this is the truth,
and instantly I perceive a sandy cat
filching a piece of fish in the background.
Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
- Virginia Woolf
Looking at a rather untidy photo I was suddenly struck by the shapes made by the space around the flowers and the shadows.

Doors to Freedom
Elegant…
…charming…
…ostentatious…
…artsy…
…decorative…
…whimsical…
… or stylish.
Look on every exit
as being an entrance
somewhere else.
― Tom Stoppard
