The sole meaning

"The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity."


Leo Tolstoy

Soul and sole and sun

Soul sounds like "sole", meaning the one and only.

Since each of us can only ever have one soul, and since it is the companion all along the journey of life, we should always remember to love, cherish, and protect the soul, in the same way that it always takes care of us.......

PS.  In Italian, the word for sun is "sole".

(Even though the Italian word "sole" (sun) is pronounced:

so, as in the English "so", e.g. so that...

le, to rhyme with the English word "day")

Green candles

Green leaves glowing in the sunlight....... are like green candles which have been lit.......

Blue is uplifting

It seems that blue is the colour most loved in this world.

Perhaps, whenever people look at something of this colour, their inward eyes are looking upward - perhaps they are remembering the colour of the sky of a wondrous day - of heaven - and are thus uplifted......

LOVE = AI = A1

The Chinese and Japanese word for love is "Ai".

(It's pronounced like the English word "eye").

In capital letters, ai becomes AI.

AI looks similar to A1.

A1 (A and the number 1- pronounced A one) is an English expression which means something wonderful, superb.

And so, because love - love and compassion for anything or anyone - is truly marvellous and uplifting, we can say that LOVE = AI = A1

Invincible summer

"In the depth of winter, I finally learnt that there was in me an invincible summer."


Albert Camus

A new day

"I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning."


J. B. Priestly

Good weather

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."


John Ruskin
