Drops..

"In every drop of water, there is a story of life."

Today...

 

 

 

I wanna be free

The wind blowing
 my boat away
Across the ocean
To some desert island

Far far away

From everything and everybody
 
My only worries
to be
food and shelter!

 Today

I wanna be free!

Streams

only when the last river has been polluted, and the last tree been cut down, and the last fish been caught, will we realise we cannot eat money.

 

 

Persistence

In the confrontation between the
stream and the rock, The stream
always wins – Not through strength,
but through persistence.

(Buddha )

 

Beautiful thoughts

FOUR Beautiful THOUGHTS of Life :

Look back & get EXPERIENCE

Look forward & see HOPE

Look around & find REALITY

Look within & find YOUR SELF

 

 

 

Never Never Land

So come with me

where Dreams are born

and Time is never planned.

Just think of Happy things,

and your heart will

fly on Wings,

in Never Never Land.

 

Peter Pan

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

“Fairy tales are more than true;

not because they tell us that dragons exist,

 but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

            G.K.C.

 

 

Moments

FOR some MOMENTS

in LIFE,

THERE are NO WORDS!

 

 

Learning

I've learned that things change,

people change,

and it doesn't mean

you forget the past

or try to cover it up.

It simply means that you move on

and treasure the memories.

Letting go doesn't mean giving up...

it means accepting

that some things weren't meant to be."

- Lisa Brooks

 

 

Waiting...

... for the tide..

 

 

Kuang Si Falls

From the entry of Kuang Si Park we can walk through a forested area where there are enclosures housing Asian black bears rescued from poachers.

At the very bottom of the falls there are several blue pools of water and small cascades (3-5 metres high); some of the falls are multi-tiered. Most of the pools are open for swimming (one is closed as being a sacred site) though the water is a bit cold because this area is shaded by big trees. This makes the falls a popular cool-off place among locals and tourists alike during the hot season.

There are also trails to climb to the top of the falls where there are more natural pools for swimming. The trails are steep and can be extremely slippery, especially in rainy season…

 If you climb up to the top at the left hand side (of the entrance) trails you’ll arrive at a huge and very impressive pool and its source. At the top you actually cross the top of the falls and this is a great place to get a good view down.

End of the trail... from here up is through the water..

... to get to the top!

With a tripod and lots of time and pacience, beautiful images could be taken from here.

But we were here to climb the falls  and so we did, straight to the top. The cameras had to be stored inside the bags and I was really  scared a couple of times during the process but it was well worth the effort,  after all.

The view ....

... and the shower! :)

The Law of the Universe

"Whatever the situation or circumstances in your life, focus on appreciating and being grateful for all the good that is happening. When you love your life as it is, then Life will give you the life that you love. It is the Law of the Universe."

 - Dr Jeff Mullan II

Nature ..

Poço do Inferno - Serra da Estrela - Portugal

Nature is like a mutable waterfall, 
which is always and never the same.

Tranquility

Sometimes we need peace and tranquility
in order to seek our own reflection.

Simple things



Luang Prabang - Laos



“The simple things are also the most extraordinary.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Nevoeiro

Espero

Espero sempre por ti o dia inteiro,
Quando na praia sobe, de cinza e oiro,
O nevoeiro
E há em todas as coisas o agoiro
De uma fantástica vinda.

As ondas quebravam uma a uma
Eu estava só com a areia e com a espuma
Do mar que cantava só para mim.

(Sophia de Mello Breyner)

Cueva del Gato

The entrance of this cave can be seen from the railway as it heads north from the station two kilometres away. It's called the cave of the cat as its entrance is said to look like a cat's head. Perhaps it does, though I failed to see it.

This cave is the terminus of an underground river that rises four kilometres away as the Rio Guaduares, which takes an underground route from the other side of Montejaque, from the Cueva de Hundidero ('fallen'), only recommended to skilled potholers. Famed for its potholing experience, it has been the scene of many deaths as rising waters trapped the unprepared.

However, for the curious, El Gato is a pleasant walk to an impressive limestone cave entrance. The water is cristal clear and it's a wonderful place to spend the afternoon in summer time.

Energia..

Fácil é abraçar, apertar as mãos, beijar de olhos fechados.

Difícil é sentir a energia que é transmitida.

Aquela que toma conta do corpo como uma corrente elétrica quando tocamos a pessoa certa.

(Carlos Drummond de Andrade)

Like water, be gentle and strong.

Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth,

and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world.
