The world little plastic beings!

-




We all enter the world little plastic beings, with so much natural force, perhaps, but for the rest / blank; and the world tells us what we are to be, and shapes us by the ends it sets before us. To you it says / Work; and to us it says / Seem! To you it says / As you approximate to man's highest ideal of God, as your arm is strong and your knowledge great, and the power to labor is with you, so you shall gain all that human heart desires. To us it says / Strength shall not help you, nor knowledge, nor labor. You shall gain what men gain, but by other means. And so the world makes men and women............................ by Olive Schreiner

    Love your photo and the poem. I had also thought of that definition of plastic, but couldn't think how to express it. You did it well!

    Thank you for visiting me!

    That's weird! It looks like a tree and then it looks like hands.

We recently traveled to London, is the place to be!!!!! We are so glad that we ( (me and my family) had the perfect sunny weather to enjoy this beautiful City. ... more stories next time! I’ve been through times when I didn’t post to my blog for more than a month – life just got in the way. I am very much quickwittedly busy, took me that long to make a blog post, it's great to be back! Thank you so much for your visits, when I was out of the loop.

My Favorite Place in Europe!

I love Paris! I had seen the Eiffel Tower many times in photographs before my first trip to Paris. The Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly very beautiful and the most exhilarating awesome landmarks in Europe. The Eiffel Tower just unambiguously took my breath away when my husband proposed to me at the top of the Eiffel Tower whiles we are looking out over the beautiful city. Just remembering those special jiffies life in Paris, walking by the river Seine during nighttime and sitting by the Eiffel Tower while smacking a dainty crepe. We spent our spacious time traveling via Paris Metropolitan "Le Metro". I may say, I overcome the overpowering and formidable subway complex of the city. We enjoyed it so much!
