I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
I have lived outside of Portland a long long time, and the Rose Gardens are one of the most gorgeous things in this state. You did a wonderful job taking this photo..I love the colours..but I love how you placed a rose right smack in front and then got all the rest behind it...a very nice idea, I think if I had to say anything negative at all, it would be, for you to have cropped the sky off this picture..and just filled the whole shot with only the roses....because they are so beautiful, they deserve the spot all to themselves..verena
