Different Yet Beautifully The Same

Nature is so very intriguing! Here are two contrasting colours, existing literally side by side on the same leaf, amidst the other plants in my garden. I believe there’s a lesson in there for us humans somewhere, one that says no matter how opposite we may be from another person we can still live together … I’m sure of it 🙂

“I want to be a force for real good. In other words. I know that there are bad forces, forces that bring suffering to others and misery to the world, but I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good.” ~John Coltrane

“What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely you.” ~Richard Wilbur

The Unique “Faces” of Tokyo, Japan

こんにちは

Kon'nichiwa dear friend!

Hello from Tokyo, Japan where I am for a few days. Stay tuned for a full update on my visit but in the meantime, I’m sharing some of the unique ‘faces’ I’ve seen so far (mainly in response to the WordPress Photo Challenge).

Face on a row of posters at the airport as we walked to the arrivals hall.

The faces of two chefs as they prepared our meals.

Thought her face was absolutely beautiful.

The faces of musicians as they played Japanese music.

Even though the rain is falling her face still looks kind of happy.
