I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought;
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Ahhh.. a quote from old G.K.Chesterton. Good work. The words along side the drawing are profound. I always feel sorry for the little bird.
ReplyDeletegratitude is happiness doubled by wonder! oh so good. thankyou. steven
ReplyDeleteVery nice thought, happiness doubled by wonder. Gratitude is a very pleasant state of mindbody because it begins with sufficiency and abides in the feeling of having been cared for, regardless of reason. I wonder, though, if compassion and joy aren't its peers.
ReplyDeleteI love your work, but always feel so out of my element when time comes to comment. I know no poets, and don't recognize any of the quotes, but I still feel the need to connect. Your drawings are always so sad. Is there something I am missing by not knowing these types of things? I love stopping by and do so everyday, but some days, I just don't know if I should say anything. Take care, Susan
ReplyDeleteLovely thought.
ReplyDeleteResting the head while the bird comes calling. Is she listening to what the tree has to tell her so she can share it with the winged angel who would then carry the thoughts to another tree, far away?
