Quotes – Travels with Ali

~ Contained in Metal ~

Something different today, I’m trying for a double dip challenge inspired by Marsha and Cee. Starting with a quote and seeing if I can link a photo!

“I Have No Limits, I Cannot be Contained
Because I am the Container”
Jim Carey

“The body is but a vessel to carry the soul. A container ship to protect it, as it passes through the world”
Danielle Montgomery

**Container Ship passing through Launceston, Tasmania**

**Metal Sculpture of an empty Oil Tanker – MOMA, Hobart**

Metal sculpture depicting the lost children of the Holocaust,
Paris, France
**A container of souls**

I came across the following when researching quotes for this challenge, which really resonated with me.

“I Don’t Want My Legacy to be
Storage Containers of Stuff”
Janet M. Taylor

It brought home to me the amount of containers I have in my house. Storage chests, cupboards, drawers and in those more boxes of treasures. Sooner or later I will have to sell, give or throwaway so many things. Just recently in the UK, my brother did one last look around the loft and came down with all of our old books and school reports and exercise books. My parents, especially my Dad could never throw anything away. There’s always that thought “this might be useful one day”.

Are you a hoarder or a thrower/giver?

Many thanks to Cee (CFFC) and Marsha (WQ) for always coming up with such interesting challenges.

🐟 Ponder 🐟

This week for one word Sunday, Debbie at Travel with Intent has chosen “Pond or Ponder”. I’ve found a few with quotes to go with my photos. Stay a while and ponder.

It is better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a mighty ocean

Our little fish pond, built in 2012. Different fish and some more plants, but still going strong. DH’s (Dear Hubby) hobby.

“I have found it a singular luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite side”
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

A Koi Pond in Sengan-En Gardens, Kagoshima, Japan

“Remain in the world, act in the world, do whatsoever is needful, and yet remain transcendental, aloof, detached, a lotus flower in the pond.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets

It’s the smallest fish in the pond that has the most room to swim – or the smallest cow!

If it doesn’t open, it’s not your door! 🚪

One Word Sunday – Arches

This Sunday’s word is Arches hosted by Debbie from Travel with Intent. Starting with a quote I found on Pinterest, a line from a conversation with Kublai Khan.
