Chaos

“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

It’s been a while since I’ve joined the dailypost photo challenge, but this week’s prompt caught my eye. Chaos.

Things fall apart

 

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears” – Nelson Mandela

A week has gone by since the referendum that shook the United Kingdom. I’ve got to say, I’m still reeling.

The initial surprise has given way to pure disbelief and countless questions.
I have been told not to “panic”. I have been told “we were fine before we joined the EU”. I have been told not to “overreact”.

Happiness is a warm husky

Never having owned a dog, I’m not particularly au fait with the ins and outs of our obsession with “man’s best friend”.

New year, new you?

“Still round the corner there may wait a new road, or a secret gate” – J.R.R. Tolkien

I realise I haven’t wished you a happy new year.  Although it’s still January (just) so maybe I haven’t quite missed the boat. When exactly does the new year stop being “new” anyway? 

Treat – a little bit of what you fancy does you good

“Find joy in everything you choose to do” – Chuck Palahniuk

Easy does it, or does it?

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty” – Theodore Roosevelt

Creepy

What she wants is unknown, but she always comes back,

the spectre of darkness, the Woman in Black.

When I checked this week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post and found that the prompt was “Creepy.” I couldn’t resist posting this selfie:

The Woman in Black

Doors I adore

  “There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception” – Aldous Huxley

Yurt, Kyzylkum Desert, Uzbekistan

Open doors, closed doors, locked doors, ajar doors, big doors, small doors, simple doors, ornate doors, humble doors – I love them all.

ROY G. BIV

This is a first. I’ve decided to join in the WordPress weekly photo challenge.

Do or die?

“Peace is always beautiful” – Walt Whitman

The past few weeks have been crazy. It’s the time of year when I’m rushed off my feet with work and so is everyone else around me. It’s stress central.
