Travelers on a Cosmic Journey and Loving Critters

 Everything is energy.





I'm posting to SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

 and City Daily Photo





"I dream. Sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do."

Haruki Murakami




"Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn't control you - you should control them."

Murakami





"Giving and receiving are different expressions

 of the same flow of energy in the universe."

Deepka Chopra










Below a quote by Haruki Murakami

"Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive.






But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library.





And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in the fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library."





"She waited for the train to pass. Then she said, "I sometimes think that people's hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what's at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while."

Murakami from Blind Willow Sleeping Woman




"We must remember life is fleeting. Our choices determine our outcomes. If you grab only pointless things in life while allowing the really important things in life to slip away, you won't be able to live with yourself while wallowing in thoughts of regret. 

The Really Important Things to You, in Life, 

are The Important Things."

Karen Sather

LIVE. LAUGH. DREAM.

Let's live life as if 

Everything blows us away.

Art Shanty Project and Critters

 Hello everyone and welcome to a spin around Lake Harriet during the last weekend of 



"The Art Shanty Project" 






"How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand."

Frances Hodgson






My sweet adorable little Dashy (Dashiell Hammett named by my daughter) says (by his loving eyes) rise and shine everyone it's a new day.



Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it.

 





Look at such style and grace in each step.


These little doggie boots were made for walking!

Is this ice safe?




Ice report says Yes! 21 inches thick in the village.

No worries walk on my friends.




"Why is it that when the story ends,

 we begin to feel all of it."

Rupi Kaur

 




I miss my sweet Misty girl every day.


Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul."
Frances Hodgson




"Shift your energy to what you can create."

"You got to look on the bright side even if there isn't one."

 Dashiell Hammett




"Surprising things can happen to anyone who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time-

 and push it out by putting in an agreeable determinedly courageous one."

Frances Hodgson Burnett


"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."

Anais Nin










"In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats."




Wait, this is a dog!

Every dog must have his day, especially on my blog.







"You will always be lucky if you know
 how to make friends with strange cats."
Colonial Proverb







Human cats rocking out!









In closing remember those comments your parents or grandparents said over and over, stuck like glue, see even that! 
I recall my mother's quote "rise above it" often.

Reaching inside for our hidden power that's waiting to be reclaimed if anyone tries to bring you down, remember this, it's their agenda and not a limitation for you. Rise above it! Keep on truckin'.
 You have the resilience to rise above anything. Live your dreams, push your efforts, own your own beliefs. 
Your heart and soul know what matters.







Thanks for stopping by and gifting me with your comments.
Take good care of you and journey on!
