If Only Critters Could Rule

 Imagine a world where critters were in charge. 

I hope you have a joyful weekend.


SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 

and posting to City Daily Photo




Be the change you wish to see in the world.
 Mahatma Gandhi 


"To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow, this is a human offering that can border on miraculous." 
Elizabeth Gilbert





So then be like a dog and dig your way out. Unless you feel more like being an Arabian horse you can set your life ablaze and rise up from the ashes around you." Me


Remember Arabian horses are known for their distinctive features, intelligence and endurance.





"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
Mahatma Gandhi





 
"Instead of politicians, let the monkeys govern the countries; 
at least they will steal only the bananas!"
Mehmet Murat ildan







Don't forsake living a worthwhile life in favor of another person's preferences.







My sweet Dash is wondering, is she cooking something for me?


"Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots."
Elizabeth Gilbert





Dogs understand their human's joy, sadness, anger and silliness. They will always live their life for you.





"You want a friend in this city? (Washington DC) Get a dog!" 
Harry S. Truman



Beauty and wisdom can always be found in the animal kingdom.



From within the wild,
To see a moose is to witness the grandeur of nature in all its glory. 


Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Enviornmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies." Suzy Kassem

 
"I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet." 
Mahatma Gandhi





Life is a zoo in the jungle. 
Peter DeVries
If you ask me, I'd say I prefer the jungle.





The animals in the world are proof that now and then 
you can put your phones away.




Our glowing screens have gotten in the way of everything, 
and we're addicted to our distractions. 
Scrolling is the new smoking.





"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed."
Mahatma Gandhi







"The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace."
Mahatma Gandhi









Love is the absence of judgement. 


"You must get lost outside your comfort zone to find where you truly belong."
Debasish Mridha





No One is too Small to Make a Difference


"Your silence is almost worst of all."
and
"I don't want you to be hopeful, I want you to panic."
Greta Thunberg


Can you roar from the rooftops? 



"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks."
 John Muir






"Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn."
Ralph Waldo Emerson




"An evening walk is a blessing for the soul."

Thank you for sharing your time with me. 
Be loving to your animal kingdom and you will feel the love.
Take good care of you.

Wonderful sayings. Oh, I must be too strong then. I forgive way too quick, I think.
Haha.. my phone usually sits at home! Other I need directions, that is.
Oh, and you have a Henry! (I live in the City of Henry the Lion).
Your evening walk is as beautiful as my balcony evening read. No. Yours is more beautiful, thank you for sharing!

I know what you mean, this moose it was his expression that caught my attention, like the humanness in his eyes. I see a few from a distance driving in upper Michigan and of course Canada which is always for me anyway a moose kind of place! I enjoyed your blog yesterday too you always set a wonderful view of nature.

Thank you back, and aloha Cloudia and Pixie. My post today began a bit too political because unfortunately the media and our current administration his pulling us down and against each other. But as you'll notice I worked my way through it by putting in some uplifting quotes and erasing others that needed to be said and read by me and then deleted! You know what I mean. Aloha Karen

21 Wits said...

I know right. Thank for stopping and for your uplifting quotes yesterday as I paused my post and took a spin through my favorite blogger's posts!

21 Wits said...

Thank you, Eileen, and for your lovely post (all of your FB posts) yesterday. If you noticed my critter post today was strictly critters as too many humans (especially folks on FB which I don't intend to ever be political on FB) have been dragging me down. We can set our own attitude! Enjoy this day!

21 Wits said...

Thank you for saying that because as I commented on your posts, I needed all that love and positivity! Thank you, enjoy this day too!

21 Wits said...

Thanks Debbie, and I know what you mean about crying it happens to be totally good for us. Sad and happy tears! Enjoy your day and lovely world!
