Wednesday, Lulworth Beach, Tasmania, Dawg’s View. A Paws for Reflection.
Dawg’s Personal Assistant: Tomorrow, being New Years Eve and Frankie not being actively encouraged to join in the pyrotechnic shenanigans I may be posting a more expansive slideshow of Frankie’s exceptional galavantings on the beach/in the surf with appropriate words of wisdom for the New Year. Warmest Affections to you and your family.
“Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise; seek what they sought.”
~ Matsuo Basho
“Nothing’s better than a picnic.”
~ Zooey Deschanel
Dawg’s View: Fish n’ chips with the bi-peds at Georgetown on Christmas Eve. Tasty Ha Chacha. Best Wishes for all…
“The root of suffering is attachment.”
~ Buddha
“The winds, the sea, and the moving tides are what they are. If there is wonder and beauty and majesty in them, science will discover these qualities… If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”
~ Rachel Carson
“Sometimes just being on a beach with my loved ones is all the adventure I need. I am a happy camper and continue to be a citizen of the world. I have yet to discover other cultures, other peoples’ dreams and treasures. I will always be a traveler who is discovering beautiful Gaia.”
~ Guy Laliberte
“I adore the ocean and its vastness, as if it is trying to teach me something, as if it is trying to teach me to remain calm whatever the situation maybe. It holds such a huge amount of water but always remains content and at peace, while we people lose our calm even at smallest of tensions that we get in life. It teaches us to keep our secrets safe within. It has an entire habitat residing in its heart, but we haven’t been able to explore it fully, same way, we must keep our secrets tightly bound within us. If we will share them, the world will lose the curiosity, just like we will lose curiosity if we will come to know fully about the aquatic life. It teaches us to provide without seeking. It houses innumerable species inside and never asks them for anything, we must also help the needy and provide if we have in abundance. The ocean teaches us lessons that books or school can’t teach us.”
~ Mehek Bassi
“She liked the word ineffable because it meant a feeling so big or vast that it could not be expressed in words.
And yet, because it could not be expressed in words, people had invented a word to express it, and that made Liesl feel hopeful, somehow.”
~ Lauren Oliver
Windy Thursday at Gravelly Beach, Tasmania. Apres’ yummy Fish n’ chips from Hooked on Kouklas. No Chocolate Cake or Coffee for the Puppy, poor puppy.
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”
~ Jimmy Dean
“I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea – whether it is to sail or to watch it – we are going back from whence we came.”
― John F. Kennedy
