"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

-- Marcel Proust, Author

Hi Bogdan, These words can mean much I am sure. I see them as looking at God's Earth as total Beauty. No matter what or where.

Also to see the Beauty in each individual as they are.

Thanks for the share. I enjoyed this one.

Peace, Sharon

Hello Bogdan

    This quote reminds me of when I used to walk along the beach with my daughters when they were just little girls. I would always let them run up ahead of me 10 yards or so. They would stop every few feet and pick something up and then run back to show Daddy what they had found. I had been walking that beach for years but I was still amazed at how many times my girls showed me something I had never seen before. Thanks for the memories Bogdan.

Marcel was so right, Bogdan.  It isn't what you see but how you see it.  I once went to look at a piece of real estate near by.  Yuk - I saw rocks, hills and dirt with no possibilities.  The friend I went with saw the lawn, the swing set, the trees and a beautiful home - and that's what she has now - her vision come true.

It's all in the eyes of the beholder and how we perceive it!

Thanks
