A picture speaks more than a thousand words

Words and phrases that flit through the mind..
Sometimes making more sense than at other times.I also like to connect phrases with visuals, so have put together all these photographs taken recently to qualify this statement.

'God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world,' Robert Browning wrote.
And this is what Frederick Buechner,said in his interpretation.It was in 'Listening to Your Life', (Harper, San Francisco, 1992.)

"Like sheep we get hungry, and hungry for more than just food. We get thirsty for more than just drink. Our souls get hungry and thirsty; in fact it is often that sense of inner emptiness that makes us know we have souls in the first place.

There is nothing that the world has to give us, there is nothing that we have to give to each other even, that ever quite fills them. But once in a while that inner emptiness is filled even so. That is part of what the psalm means by saying that God is like a shepherd, I think. It means that, like a shepherd, he feeds us. He feeds that part of us which is hungriest and most in need of feeding."

So this is what I really mean., when I say that these visuals beautifully reflect the phrase, "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world."
Also, that a picture speaks more than a thousand words
