♥ Lewis Carroll 188th Birthday ♥

self portrait 1856

♥♥♥


❝ I suppose every child has a world of his own —
and every man, too, for the matter of that.
I wonder if that's the cause
for all the misunderstanding there is in Life?


❝ Is all our Life, then, but a dream
Seen faintly in the golden gleam
Athwart Time's dark resistless stream?

- Lewis Carroll -

January 27, 1832 - January 14, 1898


♥ thank you for being part of our dreams ♥

Martin Luther King ♥ Birthday

Martin Luther King, Jr. is placed in a police car with a German Shepherd police dog in June 1964 ...
and the two immediately became friends.


♥♥
 

Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a highway, just be a trail.
If you can't be a sun, be a star.
For it isn't by size that you win or fail.
Be the best of whatever you are.

- Martin Luther King -

by L.R. Knost

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.
All things break, and all things can be mended.
Not with time, as they say, but with intention.
So go.
Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.
The broken world waits in darkness 
for the light that is you.
