The Tides on a 'Dreary' Day

One perspective over many hours, but all within the same twenty-four hour period.
I love time lapse photography effects so much, I'll have to learn to do it 'someday.'
Cycles and rhythms, inhalation and exhalation.

And the last picture shows the culprit, so bright despite its halfish fullness.

"Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind."
~Alice Meynell

"Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides."
~Angela Lansbury

"Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides."
~Gene Tierney

"Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of parise or encouragement - and we will make the goal."
~Robert Collier

Musical Snow Queen

...at least I believe it's snow? I wasn't able to find out where this was taken, nor definitely by whom. It was *originally?* posted on Facebook by Neeyum Naanum, and I found it impressive in size, detail, and grace. Looks like some other folk were stopped in their tracks as well. :)

Downsizing in Magnetic Vancouver, B.C.

I read an article about retirement and house size recently. If we don't use our houses primarily as a storage unit (a significant issue from where I sit and look about this morning), there are many new and interesting options for downsizing to something a bit smaller and more affordable. Calculations show that it can be one of the more influential decisions to meet retirement goals. And off my mind goes, a'wanderin'.

Recently there was an article and pictures of clever 'hobbit hole' type housing, and now this one to meet the demand for influx of people to Western Canada in these and coming years. Skim the pictures or read the informative article if you have extra time. Seem doable?

Happy 021212.

Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrants.

http://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_nature_beauty_gratitude.html

I found this worth the nine minutes of my day.

Peaceful, gentle feast of time-lapse reminders.

Potential mind shift, useful for coming up with notions of goodness in life.

Gratitude knows no borders.

Seventy-First Orbit of the Earth Round the Sun

Such a sweet moment in the genesis of the Lennon repertoire.
How many times I watched this clip, I could not say...
But on this day, I remember your birth and how glad of you
I am - for all of who you were and are to me and the world
You enliven still.

The duality of your nature, so honest it seems to me.
A help when I face confusion when mine rears up.
Thank you.

A Birthday... a poignant time to acknowledge, though for you
It's often(er)...

I imagine where you are. Imagine peace again. Now.
Well wishes always on your travels on.

How beautiful...
The earth, she sings.
For us?
And for which other things?
