Light vs. Dark

2007.08.28
Is the world bright and beautiful and full of light?

Or dark and ominous?

"Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

This is one of my favorite quotes and it reminds me that my attitude determines how I see the world. But boy, sometimes it is so hard to think of this is a loving world. Today on my ride home from work, someone threw a soda at me. I was so mad, sparks were probably coming out my head. When I got home, I did some Yoga/Pilates and calmed down.

Then I reminded myself that the majority of people are good and all I have to do is read the comments here on photoblog if I want proof of that. Thank you again for your comments, especially on Sunday's post. :)

P.S. If you want me to make you a hat, let me know what your favorite colors are. I would be happy to make one for you. After I make Spike's that is. :)

dkelly love this set and your words ! beautiful ..... are you selling the hats ?
dkelly · 2007-08-27: 22:12
vollenda No, I've never sold a hat. I give them away. :)

kangshung They're both great! They threw a soda at you - hope you wear a helmet!!
kangshung · 2007-08-27: 22:42
vollenda It was in a plastic cup, thank goodness. Just irritating, not painful. I do wear a helmet. Always. :)

pattyb You know Lisa, someone once told me that a bad action or word from someone always says way more about that person than about you. I always feel very sorry for an individual that acts badly like that. They are never going to experience true happiness.

I believe we are all brothers and sisters and should act as such. I am really sorry for the bad behavior of that person. I am so glad you are ok and were not hurt.

You are such a sweetheart!! Yes, it is bright and beautiful and full of light. I will admit at times the light is much brighter than others

Beautiful photos to demonstrate your thoughts....

25toLife OOhhh, I am mad at those people!! You did the right thing, for sure. That's so good that you centered yourself right after this episode. I love your gratitude for the people that make up photoblog. It is indeed a very safe and nurturing place to come remind yourself that you are wonderful. Thank you for your post.

Mabi938 You can believe it. World is as beautiful as life. We know how to look at it or no. Nice red ranges.

deleted090307 Oh Lisa. I am sorry to hear what happened...

A beautiful post with a wonderful quote...so, so true and is what I needed to hear right now. I do yoga too and it help me relax as I can wind myself up so much, but I believe in karma and that is why I try and be a good person always.

Hats? Ummmm....if only you knew my passion for hats!!!

Estel Hello Lisa, glad to hear that you are not hurt. I really like the quote. It's so true.
Estel · 2007-08-28: 02:13

KC727 Both are great !!! The last one is very special, love it :))
KC727 · 2007-08-28: 06:05
milan love the second one
milan · 2007-08-28: 08:04
chipotle i love the bottom shot. it's brooding, but i don't think it's ominous. i think someone shallow enough to throw a can would never understand it, either.
chipotle · 2007-08-28: 08:19
SheriJ Glad you didn't get knocked off your bike.. Sometimes us bike riders take a lot of guff from messed up people..But you are right most of the world is good and you can come here and see who really cares about you.. Love the pretty post!!
Oh and my favorite color is ORANGE... ;)
Can't wait to see Spike sporting his new hat??
SheriJ · 2007-08-28: 09:01
OC110481 That's awful! I would really so angry, but man! it is hard when we can't catch that person. I want to be like you, that can just forget about and and relax. So many time i told myself to forgive and let it go, but then I say back to myself NO WAY! i must do something back with what bad someone did to me:(
Very beautiful post, especialy the b&w one.

Err.. *shy* my favorite color for hat is cream or sand:)) Anyway I am more exciting to see Spike with his hat!! must be so cool
OC110481 · 2007-08-28: 09:51
fionarobinson oh, i'd say dark and ominous!, good set
fionarobinson · 2007-08-28: 11:24
BrandonRoberts I agree with the 25tolife guy! LOL ;) wink! (I'm the same person)
BrandonRoberts · 2007-08-28: 13:58
vollenda Thanks everyone!

I wish I could say, I didn't have thoughts of revenge. If I had that fire breathing dragon I've always wanted, they would be toast! :)
vollenda · 2007-08-28: 14:16
ilkab wonderful:)!
ilkab · 2007-08-28: 15:14
pattyb Lisa, you need Pete's' dragon from Passamaquati...he's the dragon I always wanted, plus he would get along with Spike!
pattyb · 2007-08-28: 15:43
jendayee Lisa, those who don't show love probably never received love before in their life. I feel sorry for them but I can't get angry at them. I'm only hoping that they will know one day about beauty !
Stay beautiful ! and Thank you.
jendayee · 2007-08-28: 20:06
jwideman A soda?? Grrr!! So sorry that happened! Great photos!
jwideman · 2007-08-28: 20:30
iagho In this case for me is dark. But both are beautiful shots!
iagho · 2007-08-28: 21:09
makaid It is a shame that people can be like that. In these days people do not care about others and get their amusement at the expense of others. However, you did the right thing. You went home and calmed down and channeled your energy into something creative.

Great work again.
makaid · 2007-08-28: 21:42
Carley Just to add my 2 cents to all the wonderful and wise things above..... I think it's bright and beautiful! I'm so glad that you weren't hurt....
I strongly believe that the good and loving people far outnumber the others....It's just that the others make a lot more noise!
Carley · 2007-08-28: 22:38
emmetan on the left is better
emmetan · 2007-08-29: 00:38

Rigadon · 2007-08-29: 14:41
