Sunday Scenes – November 18, 2012

The lake always brings me comfort. There is something about the natural scene, filled with varied life forms, from fish to birds, people to plants and trees that fill my senses. I can never get enough of it, and try to get there at least three times a week. It is a great place for walking or jogging, and inhaling nature’s beauty. It is an excellent place to reflect and meditate. I am often in awe of the serene setting, nestled within freeways and the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Views on Wednesday

The Other Son, sounds like an extremely thought-provoking and compelling film, encompassing conflict, in varied forms.

Read about Steven Spielberg and his childhood filled with bullying.

Tuesday Cascades

I went walking through a local lake over the weekend, and took some photographs of a mini cascade and its splashing water flowing into the lake (not large enough to be called a water falls). The sounds of the water rushing into the lake was music to my soul. Serenity and smiles illuminated within my heart.

A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable. William Wordsworth

Good luck and Good work for the happy mountain raindrops,
each one of them a high waterfall in itself, descending from the cliffs
and hollows of the clouds to the cliffs and hollows of the rocks,
out of the sky-thunder into the thunder of the falling rivers.
John Muir

Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall. Fulton J. Sheen
