Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of hatred… the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we’d know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we’d be truly dead. /Joss Whedon/

Hans Christian Andersen
Reflection is a flower of the mind, giving out wholesome fragrance; but revelry is the same flower, when rank and running to seed. Desiderius Erasmus
Happiness is the art of making a bouquet of those flowers within reach.
Bob Goddard
She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her… I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her…

Black & White Sunday: A Fleeting Moment
There is so much hidden in simplicity…that is revealed if only we are ready to notice, to see… Paula from Lost in Translation has an eye for details…not only in colours, but also in black and white.
Once again I couldn’ t resist being a part of her “Black & White Sunday”!
