A RUSHING breeze ruffles through the sky.
And here am I, buoyant and ready to go ...
not knowing how to lift off the load and fly!Sometimes we weigh ourselves down with disbelief in our potential. The grounded board and kite I encountered this week at Crescent Beach amid seagull calls remind me of words by Richard Bach who wrote Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He said: “Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.”

Penelope these are beautiful pictures and such inspiring words. Thank you,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and shot. Looks like a great day to be flying in the sky and or gliding on the water.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty kite!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful kite would lend even more charm to the blue skies. I’m searching for the way to fly.
ReplyDeletePowerful metaphor, great images!
ReplyDeleteReally cool clouds and terrific colors. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI "met" Jonathan Livingston Seagull as an adult, but just as your wisely wonderful blog so often does, he inspired me not only to dream bigger myself, but to recognize and appreciate the potential all around me. You show beautiful skies and motion here, Penelope, and you also provide your readers with a precious reminder to take the fun of dreaming seriously.
ReplyDeleteNice shot,a colorful kite and an equally impressive sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's, wonderful quote.
ReplyDeleteGreat wisdom by Jonathan Livingston Seagull and you. So true that we weight ourselves down. I am over the moon at the moment as someone dear to me has finally stretched the wings and flew. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photos and wonderful quote!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me of that inspirational book. I must re read it. Lovely photos, too!
ReplyDeleteThe book was very popular and caused a social phenomenon in Japan. Thanks a lot for quoting great words. It is so true. I am apt to believe what I see, but this will spoil my inner potential power.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a wonderful summer in Crescent Beach with you!!
