#1 Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep. ~ William Maxwell
We''re back. My wife and I camped a few days at several Ontario provincial parks this past week and enjoyed Lake Erie and Lake Huron for their refreshing waters during a prolonged hot and humid spell. As we sat at the beach and swam in its clear and refreshing waters, we noticed the sparkling glint of the waters particularly in the late afternoon. With our feet in the cool water and during a swim when I reached a buoy marking the swimmer's edge, I noticed the gnawing chill of the water at my feet.
As we swim through life, we occasionally marvel at its beauty, like glints of light amidst the challenges, opportunities, disappointments, the mundane... There is mystery there, some fear, but an exhilerating feeling that each day carries wonder...
I hope more readers can reflect on one or two of the perplexing quotes about life I have listed. You have several more days for the opportunity to be recognized and win a valued book of quotations. (See previous post.)
