Jesus was brought a blind man, and those who brought him begged Jesus to touch him. Jesus did more. He took him by the hand. He led him out of the town, and when he spat on his eyes, he put his hands upon him and asked if he could see anything. He said: “I see men as trees walking.” Jesus put His hands on him again and told him to look up; and he was restored. Jesus then said, ” Go home and not into the town to tell everyone!” Mark 8: 22-26 (Sandy’s summary).
Once you have tasted the taste of sky, you will forever look up.
Leonardo da Vinci
‘ To understand is to stand under which is to look up
which is a good way to understand.’ Corita Kent
There is so much about looking up, but here are three quotes, I wonder how you would order them:
‘Sometimes life has a way of putting us on our backs to force us to look up.’
Charles L Allen
‘ The reason why all people honour love is because it looks up, and not down; aspires not despairs.’
Ralph Waldo Emerson
‘ Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.’
Louise May Alcott
of
Apple tree and tortured willow tree leaves.
Let’s follow the word glass:
‘ I get naturally uncomfortable when I’m put under a magnifying glass’
The Weeknd. ( or arranged in a glass jug says Sandy!)
‘You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.’
George Bernard Shaw
‘ Look up on high and thank the God of all.’
Geoffrey Chaucer ( I studied some of his work and was happy to see he said this but what of the context?) 🤭
Continue to enjoy your weekend.
Take care,
Sandy 🙂
I enjoyed all your quotes today… And I like your painting. We look up, that’s the only way, in all we do ♥️🥰
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed them. 🙂🥰
