If i do have a choice :)...being a cactus is a strong plant surviving in desert ...being a water lily is an elegant flower ...:)...

so which choice would it be...elegance or strength?

Sally Ang said...

elegance with strength :)

anne artist said...

ah.....

iwhen is elegance strength and when not?

Sally Ang said...

Dancing in the rain, with a heart pure,and demure....although,with mud and water all over the body and legs....can we find any,in the recent "Sandy" in NYC ???

i suppose there is the choice as to whether to dance or not to. to dance in the devastation and loss or to try to hold on to what is gone.

as you say, we might not be dancing in an elegant costume, but the dance itself is strength and elegance even when it might not seem that way.

so, how do we hear the music?

Thinking about it now, sorry to have that picture of dancing in the rain, amist the devastation....guess the music came from the rain itself, thus it also means that the strength we have or the elegance we processed always developed from the worst situations in life ....true ???

anne artist said...

So if I listen to the rain, I might hear the music. But if I see devastation, I have to look inside to see elegance..,,?

Sally Ang said...

Yup :)...maybe elegance will be found in the most unexpected place ...where are lily being grown ???

anne artist said...

in a pond of rainwater?

Sally Ang said...

:)...and cactus ...in the blazing heat of the sun

anne artist said...

a prickly kind of elegance....
