Renewal
Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal.
To renew, we need strength and courage…
To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage. –Lao Tzu
The strength to let go…
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. –Lao Tzu
The courage to unlearn, then re-learn.
…while unlearning one thing we are learning another. — Victor Hugo
Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes of growth, renewal, and transformation in our lives. — Mary Ann Brussat

It’s a great post Amy…but the following really touched me: “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. –Lao Tzu”
Thank you

Thank you so much for letting me share it with you, Jo! I, too, was touched by “…becoming what I might be”, as we know in our hearts that it’s a journey…
November 11, 2012 at 2:59 pm
I’ve used it as my tagline…love that quote. Just love it.

Thank you so much for letting me know, Madhu!

All the images are truly lovely, but my favorite is the new redwoods growing out of the mother tree…
Something that is puzzling me…. I have you checked as a “follow”, but then why am I not getting your emails for new posts??? Another WP glitch?
November 14, 2012 at 3:23 pm
It’s like “life recycle” –I love that one too.
I have been having the same problem of not getting the ones that I’m supposed to “follow”.

Beautiful, relaxing, rejuvinating. Nature is a pure source of joy and peace. Have a great week.
November 15, 2012 at 1:17 am
I love how you said — nature is the pure source of joy and peace. You, too, have a great week!

Looks like what became of many of the trees in my area.
November 16, 2012 at 4:32 am
A couple were from the Vancouver area.

Ah, thank you for the moment in the forest…renewed with your images and wisdom words…thank you!
