Knowing What You Want

I found this print in a used book store in Kobe, Japan. It's one of my favorites so I thought that I would share it with you.

Remember your joys! Your life's purpose is in what you love.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. -Lao Tzu (venerable teacher)

  4. beautiful post and i've always loved that quote - the image is especially intriguing to me because on saturday i went through my cards to find one for my youngest daughter and her husband for a little anniversary gift - the one i chose is almost a duplicate of this image - literally - the two little birds - the colors - the branch - if my printer were hooked up, i'd scan it in and send it to you to see the similarities - oh, and i'd not been to your blog until today - anyway - beautiful post, lady!

  5. Trish, I'm always happy to help.

    Gypsy, we have some kind of odd connection going on! Someday I think we will have to really explore that.
