Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.
Green said:
Blue interrupted:
Yellow chuckled:
Orange started next to blow her trumpet:
Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:
Purple rose up to his full height:
Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak:
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
The rain continued:
"From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
All claimed that they were the best.
The most important.
The most useful.
The favorite.
"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."
"You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."
"You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
"I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."
"You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."

The Color of Friendship:inspirational story by Author unknown

CELTIC WOMAN - FIELDS OF GOLD LYRICS
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
So she took her love
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
I never made promises lightly
Many years have passed since those summer days
When we walked in fields of gold
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
Oh, we lie in fields of gold
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
Among the fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Oh, we walked in fields of gold..

Creative quotes on inspiration
Vision animates, inspires, transforms purpose into action.
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
I believe in intuition and inspiration; at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
One can be instructed in society; one is inspired only in solitude.
I don’t believe in inspiration. I believe in work, because while one works one’s creativity is opened.
Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy.
Warren Bennis
Ella Fitzgerald
Albert Einstein
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Giacomo Manzu
Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Creative quotes on children
What are the conditions of the creative attitude, of seeing and responding, of being aware and being sensitive to what one is aware of? First of all it requires the capacity to be puzzled. Children still have the capacity to be puzzled.
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men, who talk in a road, according to the notions they have borrowed and the prejudices of their education.
Erich From
John Locke
Inspirational wisdom quotes by Samuel Johnson
As I know more of mankind I expect less of them, and am ready now to call a man a good man upon easier terms than I was formerly.
Prejudice, not being founded on reason, cannot be removed by argument.
The pleasures of sudden wonder are soon exhausted, and the mind can only repose on the stability of truth.
Samuel Johnson

I must not fear. by Frank Herbert
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Frank Herbert

On fear and courage by Dale Carnegie
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Waiting to develop courage is just another form of procrastination. The most successful people take action while they’re afraid!

Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by William Wordsworth
Lindsey Stirling What Child is This
Excerpts from
Ye blessèd creatures, I have heard the call
"Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"
William Wordsworth
Ye to each other make; I see
The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee;
My heart is at your festival,
My head hath its coronal,
The fulness of your bliss, I feel—I feel it all.
O evil day! if I were sullen
While Earth herself is adorning,
This sweet May-morning,
And the children are culling
On every side,
In a thousand valleys far and wide,
Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm,
And the babe leaps up on his mother's arm:—
I hear, I hear, with joy I hear!
—But there's a tree, of many, one,
A single field which I have look'd upon,
Both of them speak of something that is gone:
The pansy at my feet
Doth the same tale repeat:
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own;
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing Boy,
But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,
He sees it in his joy;
The Youth, who daily farther from the east
Must travel, still is Nature's priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended;
At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.
Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,
And, even with something of a mother's mind,
And no unworthy aim,
The homely nurse doth all she can
To make her foster-child, her Inmate Man,
Forget the glories he hath known,
And that imperial palace whence he came.
Emile Vernon Art
O joy! that in our embers
Not for these I raise
But for those first affections,
Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour,
Is something that doth live,
That nature yet remembers
What was so fugitive!
The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction: not indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest—
Delight and liberty, the simple creed
Of childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:—
The song of thanks and praise;
But for those obstinate questionings
Of sense and outward things,
Fallings from us, vanishings;
Blank misgivings of a Creature
Moving about in worlds not realized,
High instincts before which our mortal Nature
Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised:
Those shadowy recollections,
Which, be they what they may,
Are yet the fountain-light of all our day,
Are yet a master-light of all our seeing;
Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make
Our noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake,
To perish never:
Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy,
Can utterly abolish or destroy!
Hence in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither,
Can in a moment travel thither,
And see the children sport upon the shore,
And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.
Then sing, ye birds, sing, sing a joyous song!
And let the young lambs bound
As to the tabor's sound!
We in thought will join your throng,
Ye that pipe and ye that play,
Ye that through your hearts to-day
Feel the gladness of the May!
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
And O ye Fountains, Meadows, Hills, and Groves,
Forebode not any severing of our loves!
Yet in my heart of hearts I feel your might;
I only have relinquish'd one delight
To live beneath your more habitual sway.
I love the brooks which down their channels fret,
Even more than when I tripp'd lightly as they;
The innocent brightness of a new-born Day
Is lovely yet;
The clouds that gather round the setting sun
Do take a sober colouring from an eye
That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality;
Another race hath been, and other palms are won.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

IMAGINE ME WITHOUT YOU lyrics by Jaci Velasquez
Imagine me without you
As long as stars shine down from heaven
In my life you’re all that matters
When I found you I was blessed
Imagine me without you
Imagine me without you
When you caught me I was falling
When I found you I was blessed
When I found you I was blessed
I can’t imagine me without you
Jaci Velasquez
And the rivers run into the sea
Til the end of time forever
You’re the only love I’ll need
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You’re the one that’s there for me
And I will never leave you, I need you
I’d be lost and so confused
I wouldn’t last a day, I’d be afraid
Without you there to see me through
Lord, you know it’s just impossible
Because of you, it’s all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can’t imagine me without you
You’re love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard me calling
And you rush to set me free
And I will never leave you, I need you
And I will never leave you, I need you oh

The magic of mountains by Elizabeth Aston
Mountains inspire awe in any human person who has a soul. They remind us of our frailty, our unimportance, of the briefness of our span upon this earth. They touch the heavens, and sail serenely at an altitude beyond even the imaginings of a mere mortal.
Elizabeth Aston,The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy
Nature quote by Anne Bronte
And then, the unspeakable purity and freshness of the air! There was just enough heat to enhance the value of the breeze, and just enough wind to keep the whole sea in motion, to make the waves come bounding to the shore, foaming and sparkling, as if wild with glee.
Anne Bronte, Agnes Grey

Quotes on fishing
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive
but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.
I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there.
Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
New artists must break a hole in the subconscious and go fishing there.
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
John Buchan

Riding is a partnership. Horse quote by Author Unknown
Riding is a partnership. The horse lends you his strength, speed and grace,
which are greater than yours. For your part you give him your guidance,
intelligence and understanding, which are greater than his.
Together you can achieve a richness that alone neither can.
I Am Vertical BY Sylvia Plath
Hanz Zatska Art
I Am Vertical
But I would rather be horizontal.
Tonight, in the infinitesimal light of the stars,
BY Sylvia Plath
I am not a tree with my root in the soil
Sucking up minerals and motherly love
So that each March I may gleam into leaf,
Nor am I the beauty of a garden bed
Attracting my share of Ahs and spectacularly painted,
Unknowing I must soon unpetal.
Compared with me, a tree is immortal
And a flower-head not tall, but more startling,
And I want the one's longevity and the other's daring.
The trees and flowers have been strewing their cool odors.
I walk among them, but none of them are noticing.
Sometimes I think that when I am sleeping
I must most perfectly resemble them--
Thoughts gone dim.
It is more natural to me, lying down.
Then the sky and I are in open conversation,
And I shall be useful when I lie down finally:
The trees may touch me for once, and the flowers have time for me.
Más allá del amor poema de Octavio Paz
Más allá del amor
Todo nos amenaza:
Ni el sueño y su pueblo de imágenes rotas,
Afuera la noche respira, se extiende,
Tiéndete aquí a la orilla de tanta espuma,
Octavio Paz
el tiempo, que en vivientes fragmentos divide
al que fui
del que seré,
como el machete a la culebra;
la conciencia, la transparencia traspasada,
la mirada ciega de mirarse mirar;
las palabras, guantes grises, polvo mental sobre la yerba,
el agua, la piel;
nuestros nombres, que entre tú y yo se levantan,
murallas de vacío que ninguna trompeta derrumba.
ni el delirio y su espuma profética,
ni el amor con sus dientes y uñas nos bastan.
Más allá de nosotros,
en las fronteras del ser y el estar,
una vida más vida nos reclama.
llena de grandes hojas calientes,
de espejos que combaten:
frutos, garras, ojos, follajes,
espaldas que relucen,
cuerpos que se abren paso entre otros cuerpos.
de tanta vida que se ignora y se entrega:
tú también perteneces a la noche.
Extiéndete, blancura que respira,
late, oh estrella repartida,
copa,
pan que inclinas la balanza del lado de la aurora,
pausa de sangre entre este tiempo y otro sin medida.

Der Schauend Von Rainer Maria Rilke
Rainer Maria Rilke
Ich sehe den Bäumen die Stürme an,
Da geht der Sturm, ein Umgestalter,
Wie ist das klein, womit wir ringen,
Was wir besiegen, ist das Kleine,
Wen dieser Engel überwand,
die aus laugewordenen Tagen
an meine ängstlichen Fenster schlagen,
und höre die Fernen Dinge sagen,
die ich nicht ohne Freund ertragen,
nicht ohne Schwester lieben kann.
geht durch den Wald und durch die Zeit,
und alles ist wie ohne Alter:
die Landschaft, wie ein Vers im Psalter,
ist Ernst und Wucht und Ewigkeit.
was mit uns ringt, wie ist das groß;
ließen wir, ähnlicher den Dingen,
uns so vom großen Sturm bezwingen,-
wir würden weit und namenlos.
und der Erfolg selbst macht uns klein.
Das Ewige und Ungemeine
will nicht von uns gebogen sein.
Das ist der Engel, der den Ringern
des Alten Testaments erschien:
wenn seiner Widersacher Sehnen
im Kampfe sich metallen dehnen,
fühlt er sie unter seinen Fingern
wie Saiten tiefer Melodien.
welcher so oft auf Kampf verzichtet,
der geht gerecht und aufgerichtet
und groß aus jener harten Hand,
die sich, wie formend, an ihn schmiegte.
Die Siege laden ihn nicht ein.
Sein Wachstum ist: der Tiefbesiegte
von immer Größerem zu sein.
Citations et poèmes Inspirantes en français:ralentis ton rythme*Semer la joie*Les plus belles réflexions de Khalil Gibran
Ralentis ton rythme!
As-tu déjà observé les enfants jouer sur un carrousel ou
écouter la pluie tomber sur le toit ?
Déjà suivi un papillon volant gaiement ou bien admiré
un coucher de soleil? Tu devrais t'y arrêter.
Ne danse pas trop vite car la vie est courte.
La musique ne dure pas éternellement.
Est-ce que tu cours toute la journée,toujours pressé(e)?
Lorsque tu demandes "Comment ça va?", est-ce que tu prends
le temps d'écouter la réponse ?
Lorsque la journée est terminée,est-ce que tu t'étends sur
ton lit avec 100 000 choses à faire qui courent dans ta tête?
Tu devrais ralentir. As-tu déjà dit à ton enfant "nous le ferons
demain", et de le remettre au surlendemain?
As-tu déjà perdu contact avec un ami, laissé une amitié
mourir parce que tu n'avais jamais le temps d'appeler pour dire bonjour ?
Tu ferais mieux de ralentir, ne danse pas trop vite car
la musique cessera un jour. La vie est si courte.
Lorsque tu cours si vite pour te rendre quelque part,
tu manques la moitié du plaisir d'y être.
Lorsque tu t'inquiètes et te fais du souci toute la journée,
c'est comme un cadeau non ouvert que tu jetterais .
La vie n'est pas une course, tu dois ralentir ton rythme,
prendsle temps d'écouter la musique avant que la chanson ne soit terminée.
Semer la joie
L'important, c'est de semer,
un peu, beaucoup, sans cesse,
les graines de l'espérance...
Sème le sourire :
qu'il resplendisse autour de toi.
Sème ton courage :
qu'il soutienne celui de l'autre.
Sème ton enthousiasme,
ta foi, ton amour,
les plus petites choses,
les riens.
Aie confiance,
chaque graine enrichira un petit coin de terre.
Ce que nous voyons de nos propres yeux n’est autre qu’un nuage qui
dissimule ce qu’il faudrait que nous percevions par notre vue
intérieure, et ce que nous écoutons de nos oreilles n’est autre
qu’un tintement qui perturbe ce qu’il faudrait saisir par nos cœurs.
Si vous prêtiez l’oreille à la sérénité de la nuit, vous l’entendriez
dire en silence : Notre Dieu, toi qui es notre moi ailé, c’est
Ta volonté en nous qui veut, c’est ton désir en nous qui désire,
et c’est Ta force en nous qui transforme nos nuits.
Ne désespérez pas, car au-delà des injustices de ce monde,
au-delà de la matière, au-delà des nuages, au-delà de l’éther
et de toutes choses, il est une force qui est justice, compassion,
tendresse et amour.
Lorsque tu auras atteint le cœur de la vie, certes tu trouveras
de la beauté en toutes choses, même dans les yeux qui sont aveugles
à la beauté.
Vous pourriez, en imagination, vous élever jusqu’aux nuages,
et vous estimeriez avoir atteint une haute altitude ; vous
pourriez survoler la vaste mer, et vous prétendriez avoir
parcouru une large distance. Mais je vous le dis, quand
vous plantez une graine dans la terre, vous vous élevez plus
haut encore ; et lorsque vous saluez votre voisin, au nom
de la beauté du matin, vous traversez une mer plus vaste encore.

Universal love:The poetry of Ella wheller Wilcox:Solitude poem *The World's Need poem*The Need of the World poem*One Sad Truth poem
Nicos Hadzopoulos-Beginning(Belalim)
Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
(1850-1919)
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau Art
The World's Need
So many gods
THE NEED OF THE WORLD
I know the need of the world, One Sad Truth
There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
So many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind
While just the art of being kind
is all this sad world needs.
I am the voice of the voiceless
Through me the mute shall speak
'til the deaf world's ear
be made to hear
the cry of the wordless weak.
from slaughterhouses, comes the wail
of my tortured kin
who proclaim the sin
of the mighty against the frail.
For love is the true religion
And love is the law sublime
And all that is wrought
where love is not
will die with the touch of time.
Oh, shame on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stopped to teach
of the sorrow that lies
in an animal's eyes;
the sorrow that has no speech.
The same power formed the sparrow
that fashioned man; the king
The god of the whole
gave a living soul
to furred and to feathered thing.
And I am my brother's keeper
And I will fight his fight
and speak the word
for beast and bird
til the world shall set things right.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Though it would not have me know.
It would hide its sorrow deep,
Where only God may go.
Yet its secret it can not keep;
It tells it awake, or asleep,
It tells it to all who will heed,
And he who runs may read.
The need of the world I know.
I know the need of the world,
When it boasts of its wealth the loudest,
When it flaunts it in all men's eyes,
When its mien is the gayest and proudest.
Oh! ever it lies--it lies,
For the sound of its laughter dies
In a sob and a smothered moan,
And it weeps when it sits alone.
The need of the world I know.
I know the need of the world.
When the earth shakes under the tread
Of men who march to the fight,
When rivers with blood are red
And there is no law but might,
And the wrong way seems the right;
When he who slaughters the most
Is all men's pride and boast,
The need of the world I know.
I know the need of the world.
When it babbles of gold and fame,
It is only to lead us astray
From the thing that it dare not name,
For this is the sad world's way.
Oh! poor blind world grown grey
With the need of a thing so near,
With the want of a thing so dear.
The need of the world I know.
The need of the world is love.
Deep under the pride of power,
Down under its lust of greed,
For the joys that last but an hour,
There lies forever its need.
For love is the law and the creed
And love is the unnamed goal
Of life, from man to the mole.
Love is the need of the world.
Vidan Art
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
While journeying east and west-
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

Too Many Names by Pablo Neruda with the original poem in Spanish "Demasiados nombres"
Too Many Names
Mondays are meshed with Tuesdays
No one can claim the name of Pedro,
When I lived amongst the roots
It is so long, the spring
When I sleep every night,
This means to say that scarcely
I have a mind to confuse things,
Se enreda el lunes con el martes
Nadie puede llamarse Pedro,
Cuando viví con las raíces
Es tan larga la primavera
Cuando duermo todas las noches,
Esto quiere decir que apenas
Pablo Neruda
and the week with the whole year.
Time cannot be cut
with your weary scissors,
and all the names of the day
are washed out by the waters of night.
nobody is Rosa or Maria,
all of us are dust or sand,
all of us are rain under rain.
They have spoken to me of Venezuelas,
of Chiles and of Paraguays;
I have no idea what they are saying.
I know only the skin of the earth
and I know it is without a name.
they pleased me more than flowers did,
and when I spoke to a stone
it rang like a bell.
which goes on all winter.
Time lost its shoes.
A year is four centuries.
what am I called or not called?
And when I wake, who am I
if I was not while I slept?
have we landed into life
than we come as if new-born;
let us not fill our mouths
with so many faltering names,
with so many sad formallities,
with so many pompous letters,
with so much of yours and mine,
with so much of signing of papers.
unite them, bring them to birth,
mix them up, undress them,
until the light of the world
has the oneness of the ocean,
a generous, vast wholeness,
a crepitant fragrance.
Demasiados nombres
Pablo Neruda
y la semana con el año:
no se puede cortar el tiempo
con tus tijeras fatigadas,
y todos los nombres del día
los borra el agua de la noche.
ninguna es Rosa ni María,
todos somos polvo o arena,
todos somos lluvia en la lluvia.
Me han hablado de Venezuelas,
de Paraguayes y de Chiles,
no sé de lo que están hablando:
conozco la piel de la tierra
y sé que no tiene apellido.
me gustaron más que las flores,
y cuando hablé con una piedra
sonaba como una campana.
que dura todo el invierno:
el tiempo perdió los zapatos:
un año tiene cuatro siglos.
cómo me llamo o no me llamo?
Y cuando me despierto quién soy
si no era yo cuando dormía?
desembarcamos en la vida,
que venimos recién naciendo,
que no nos llenemos la boca
con tantos nombres inseguros,
con tantas etiquetas tristes,
con tantas letras rimbombantes,
con tanto tuyo y tanto mío,
con tanta firma en los papeles.
Yo pienso confundir las cosas,
unirlas y recién nacerlas,
entreverarlas, desvestirlas,
hasta que la luz del mundo
tenga la unidad del océano,
una integridad generosa,
una fragancia crepitante.
