Every Day is Earth Day

“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.”

– Khalil Gibran

“Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.”

– Robert Frost

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to
decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

– Jane Goodall

“The whole world is, to me, very much “alive” – all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can’t look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life – the things going on-within them.”

– Ansel Adams

““When enough people come together,
then change will come and
we can achieve almost anything.”

– Greta Thunberg

“The environment is where we all meet;
where we all
have a mutual interest;
it is the one thing all of us share.”

– Lady Bird Johnson

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each.”

– Henry David Thoreau

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your
bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”

– Khalil Gibran

The Power of Red

Red has always been my color
because red stands out.
Red is one of the strongest colors, its blood,
it has a power with the eye.
That’s why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well…
In fact, I use red in all of my paintings.
– Keith Haring

Red is the greatest clarifier – bright and revealing. I can’t imagine becoming bored with red – it would be like becoming
bored with the person you love.
– Diana Vreeland

Red is uplifting.
– J. Lewis

Red protects itself. No color is as territorial.
It stakes a claim, is on the alert against the spectrum.
~ Derek Jarman

When I haven’t any blue, I use red.
– Pablo Picasso

I love red so much,
I almost want to paint everything red.
– Alexander Calder

Red, of course, is the color of the interior of our bodies.
In a way it’s inside out, red.
– Anish Kapoor

Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.
– Bill Blass

Red can communicate all sorts of messages.
Red symbolizes passion, action, energy, happiness,
authority, strength, and confidence…
– Adam Glassman

Portraits of Friendship

“Wherever we are, it is our friends
that make our world.”
– Henry Drummond

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny, and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”
– Gloria Naylor

“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must
undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity,
before it is entitled to the appellation.”
– George Washington

“What is a friend?
A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
– Aristotle

“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”
– Nigerian Proverb

“ We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed.
As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at
last a drop which makes it run over;
so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one
which makes the heart run over.”
– Samuel Johnson

“Friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.”
– Aristotle

“Faithful friends are hard to find.”
– William Shakespeare

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship.
It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Gift of Grandparents

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the
lives of little children.

-Alex Haley

A grandparent is a best friend, teacher, cheerleader, and counselor.

There is no grandfather who does not
adore his grandchild.

-Victor Hugo

Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends, and
hardly ever our own grown children.

-Ruth Goode

The best place to be when you’re sad is a
grandparent’s lap.

Grandchildren are God’s way of
compensating us for
growing old.

-Mary H. Waldrip

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the
first grandchild.

-Welsh Proverb

It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the
fullness of their grace.

-Christopher Morley

A STATEMENT BY STEVE MCCURRY

“I can think of few greater humanitarian
organizations than the EMERGENCY
hospitals in Afghanistan which have
operated continuously throughout the
turbulence of the past few years.
When many fled the country, Emergency
doubled down on their commitment to care
for Afghans as they have since 1999.”
– Steve McCurry

Starting on August 15, we are teaming up with Ishkar to raise funds by selling the print below at a special, one-time price to show Afghanistan that we have not forgotten.
More information coming soon at http://www.ishkar.com

All profits from the print sale will go to EMERGENCY’S
work in Afghanistan.

Eloquence of the Eye

The soul has an interpreter – often an unconscious
but still a faithful interpreter – in the eye.
– Charlotte Bronte

Her eyes are homes of silent prayers.
– Lord Alfred Tennyson

The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God’s eye are one eye,
one seeing, one knowing, one love.
– Meister Eckhart, 1259 – 1327

These eyes tell the stories of
children around the world.
They speak of war, deprivation, and loss.

From women’s eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain and nourish all the world.
– William Shakespeare, Love’s Labour’s Lost

There is a road from the eye to heart
that does not go through the intellect.
– G. K. Chesterton

When the heart is full, the eyes overflow.
– Sholom Aleichem

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
-Henri Bergson

The eyes are the most powerful social signalers that we have and hence are sometimes called the windows of the soul.
– Glen Wilson

Eyes are more accurate witnesses than ears.
– Heraclitus of Ephesus, 535 – c. 475 BCE

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?
– Henry David Thoreau

Eyes have their own universal language, and
no interpreter is needed.

The countenance is the portrait of the soul,
and the eyes mark its intentions.
– Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 – 43 BCE

The face is the mirror of the mind,
and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
– St. Jerome

Sail Away

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do…

…so throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
– Mark Twain

A traveler without observation is a bird without wings.
– Moslih Eddin Saadi

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
– Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere but to go.
I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.
– Robert Louis Stevenson

Earth’s crammed with heaven.
– Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The world is a book and those who
do not travel read only one page.
– St. Augustine

Go far. Stay long. See deep.
And may the sun rise twice before you sleep.
– Unknown

Bizarre travel plans are dancing lessons from God.
– Kurt Vonnegut

Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined,
self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is,
not the way you imagine it.
– Mark Jenkins

Every Day is Mothers’ Day

Post author By Steve McCurry
Post date May 5, 2020
39 Comments on Every Day is Mothers’ Day

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.
– Robert Browning

It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?
– Mahatma Gandhi

All that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
– Abraham Lincoln

Mother is the name for God in the lips
and hearts of little children.
– William Makepeace Thackeray

Mother: the most beautiful word
on the lips of mankind.
—Kahlil Gibran

Artists have been depicting the special bond between mothers and their children for hundreds of years.

Relationships can be difficult to describe, and sometimes an image tells the story better than words. One of the most powerful and unforgettable photos depicting a mother and her children in the history of photography is Dorothea Lange’s photograph of a destitute mother and her children taken in 1936.

Dorothea Lange said in an interview about the picture, “She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me.”
