“I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.” – Mary Elizabeth Frye
In honor of my mom who loves her tulips, roses and daffodils and all the beautiful flowers she has nurtured for many years❤️ Especially to those moms who have been far from their children now, wishing you all a very happy mother’s day❤️

“And the stars were shining, And the earth was scented. The gate of the garden creaked And a footstep grazed the sand… Fragrant, she entered And fell into my arms.” – Puccini: Tosca
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” – Audrey Hepburn
“Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except your self.” – Gautama Buddha
“When I became a mother I felt like I gave birth to more than a child – my heart began to live outside my body! I’m learning that being a woman and a mother is a delicate balance of self-sacrifice and self remembrance. Every moment calls for a unique mix of the two and it takes honesty and love to give myself and others what we need.”
“The ‘colors’ of the world fascinate and sustain me – be it people, cultures, landscapes, buildings… and colors themselves, of course, just think of India. Subconsciously, I almost always wear colors, and bright ones at that. My little daughter filed a serious request for some of my clothes – they are reserved for her until she grows into them. Actually, I would love to wear her clothes, too, but I’m afraid that would be impossible☺️.”
"Motherhood is a bit like being Robin Hood! You are always alert and ready to defend the little munchkins! It's stressful and tiring but the most rewarding 'job' you could ever do. They pull you back to earth and give you a reason to get out of bed (of course, usually because they are hungry), but thinking more of the endless love they give you❤️
