Words to live by from Charlie Chaplin

~ TiffanyCreek ~ Leave a comment

Charlie Chaplin lived 88 years.

He left us 4 statements:

(1) Nothing is forever in this world, not even our problems.

(2) I love walking in the rain because no one can see my tears.

(3) The most lost day in life is the day we don’t laugh.

(4) Six best doctors in the world…:

1. The sun,

2. Rest,

3. Exercise,

4. Diet,

5. Self-respect

6. Friends.

Stick to them at all stages of your life and enjoy a healthy life…

If you see the moon, you will see the beauty of God…

If you see the sun, you will see the power of God…

If you see a mirror, you will see God’s best creation. So believe it.

We are all tourists, God is our travel agent who has already identified our routes, bookings and destinations… trust him and enjoy life.

Life is just a journey! Therefore, live today!

Tomorrow may not be.

~Charlie Chaplin

Snow

Snow leaves a fluffy blanket of powder over the land.

Light flakes continue to fall from the sky – the air is still as can be.

White outlines the tangled limbs of deciduous trees in the forest,

and weighs down the boughs of cedar and pines –

green underneath.

Gray sky and green grass!

Barren oak trees looming over head

their leaves now lie on the frozen ground 

in colors of burnt siena and brown.

You can touch the freezing air with your eyes, and smell its freshness passing by.

The December moon that peered out from the fog last night

awaits tossing into the air from your fingertips, unleashed from an open fist.

The crunching sound of tiny pebbles underfoot as you step outside,

lingers in the stillness of silence, beckoning a storm.

As You Go Through Life

~ TiffanyCreek ~ Leave a comment

Don’t look for the flaws as you go through life;

And even when you find them,

It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind

And look for the virtue behind them.

For the cloudiest night has a hint of light

Somewhere in its shadows hiding;

It is better by far to hunt for a star,

Than the spots on the sun abiding.

The world will never adjust itself

To suit your whims to the letter.

Some things must go wrong your whole life long,

And the sooner you know it the better.

Excerpt from a poem written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Published September 1890 in “The Ladies’ Home Journal”

Ground Zero

I sure wish I could remember exactly when I took this picture. I am pretty sure it was around 2015. I was in the City, obviously. The picture was shot with my Se iPhone from the New York Academy of Science, which occupied an entire floor of a new post 9/11 building, from where I stood. You can see the footing of one of the Twin Towers. What a nightmarish day that was. But I remember the solidarity amongst people for days, weeks, and months, after it happened. There was a feeling of good will and civility I wish we could replicate today, and one which I hope comes back.

Why?

“Why make someone a priority, when you feel you are just an option?” I don’t know the answer to this question, but I think it has to do with ‘letting go’ and being prepared to relinquish control.

LOVE

~ TiffanyCreek ~ Leave a comment

Love creates a communion with life. Love expands us, connects us, sweetens us, ennobles us. Love springs up in tender concern, it blossoms into caring action.  – Jack Kornfield

A love letter to Amelita.

In a tamale made with love
In giving a puppy a drink of water
Making empanadas
In protesting
In reading to a child
Like a freshly made loaf of bread
Love is finding a rainbow in the sky.
