"When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death-ourselves."

"Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
Mark 6:31
Being a wife and mother of five, I am rarely alone. I have to find solitude where ever and when ever I can. I experience solitude through photography and my faith.
"It is in ordinary, fleeting moments when I am able to recognize and embrace the graces and blessing that are showered on me every second of every day that I find solitude and peace."
Tiffany

What a lovely series, the quotes, the photos, all of it. You captured the very beauty of each flower perfectly.
LOVE the photos! I'm a mother of just one and even I know how hard it can be to get a minute to yourself.
Love the flowers - and the words more.
P.S. I had to come back to visit when I had more time to really explore and read your words. I can't imagine how hard it would be to find solitude with so many people around all the time, but so glad that you have found it through your photography and faith! I love these captures! Thanks so much for joining the Poetic Winter Challenge!

gorgeous shots. I love ranunculus and I love your quotes that are spot on. My mum always told me that enjoying being by yourself is an important life skill - something that I hope I am teaching to my children too - not easy when you have a houseful but important none the less.
It's a must- my place is at the gym. Or the bathtub. Those pics are amazing. Sending you positive house vibes!!!
Wow, you've managed to make these gorgeous flowers look even more stunning. You must be proud of your work.
Gorgeous flower shots. I love how crisp and colorful they are.
Those flowers are so lovely. Thank's for sharing those quotes:)
Visiting for Favorite Photo Friday! Hope you can stop by:)
