TIME...





The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time,
rolling, rushing on, swift, silent,
 like an
 all-embracing ocean-tide,





on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations,
 like apparitions which are, and then are not....

 by  Thomas Carlyle

















Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new...
but who can understand and measure its sharp breath,
 its mystery and its design? 


 by  Paracelsus



TIME....

Reflections on my short drive home from the
little port
through 
the gorgeous
Countryside
up the
hill
home..


Have a  beautiful sunny day!!

Elvira...just want to let you know that some of the text (blues) is not readable...especially by the boat photos.

So when are you coming to the states?

Beautiful imagery, verse and photos! Loved the boat reflections. I am just doing a post on the same topic for next week.....time. 'Great minds think alike!' lol

Absolutely glorious images and the scene there, makes me desire to get on a plane, a cruise liner and head that way, though for me, is easier said than done, yet awe to dream a bit and these images do allow for that~

Oh Elvira- this beautiful post is a thing of beauty- it might be my most favorite. Absolute genius---
The boat pictures are stunning- only you could create such imagery. These photos and words- make my heart stand still. You write is such a soulful way---

I want my friends to meet you. I'm going to put a link on my sidebar to introduce you to my friends-- may I use one of these photos?

Have a wonderful weekend dear Elvira- I'm sure you will be thinking about your next beautiful story--

Hi Elvira! Sorry for the absence, but these last two months have been nasty! My mother (90) was in hospital for more than three weeks and the post-surgery was hard! My father (94) seemed to be orphan while my mother was out and felt into some kind of depression... The economy is a disaster and the media only bring bad news... The € Euro is rescued every day, only to be known that it needs to be rescued again and again... What else? Well, maybe «Midnight in Paris»... The problem is that the Gil there is a different one... ;)

Amazing post!!

Blogtrotter Two wanders currently around Porto Vecchio and the beaches in the region! Enjoy and have a wonderful week ahead!
