her shutter opened the soul's window

Again, serendipity popped its amazing head as yesterday I had photographed this little hut at my favorite herb farm and came home to a lovely testimonial from my flickr calligraphy friend, Blunder.

Goodness, don't know what I've done to deserve such staggering compliments, but am genuinely grateful to have been an inspiration in some small way! To "possess a skeleton key that unlocks all the doors and windows of the souls in the world, in every person" is an astounding statement!

I love Sir Blunder's words, "Personally I think that the soul can only be truly free when it can find a door or a window through which it can express itself creatively."

I can truly attest to that feeling of "freedom" and have to agree with the following quotations:

“Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within.” ~ Claudia Lady Bird Johnson ~

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” ~ Dale Carnegie ~

“Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.”
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox ~
