Lost in Translation

Black & White Sunday: Timeless

 

 

“True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly what is before you.

True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.”

– Vera Nazarian

Maybe the quote above will help you choose the right image for today’s “timeless” challenge. No need to rush. The deadline is next Saturday.

Peace,

Paula

        I was there in 1983. I remember being on a bus and seeing the Coliseum come into view- it was like an out of body experience- seeing it “for real”. It was a wonderful trip- Rome, Venice Florence and 2 hours in Milan to see The Last Supper, and then back on a train to Paris!

    You make such demands on my brain with a theme, a quote, and music. And of course, your own photo humbles me.

    I don’t know whether I’ve achieved a life-altering insight, although my grandchildren have certainly altered my life, and thinking about them provides insight into the trajectory of my own life and the things that are important in it. Here’s the result of my cogitations on “timeless”.
