2025 LAPC #364 — A Quiet Moment

Quiet Moments can be found in many different and wonderful ways and places. It does not matter where you are, there can always be times for quiet moments.

“Let a horse whisper in your ear and breathe on your heart. You will never regret it.”

Quiet Stillness Brings Peace and Calmness to the Soul like the peace and calmness felt when by a river.

“In the stillness of quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.”
— Howard Thurman

And then Quietly Moments can be found relaxing in a rocking chair …

“Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.”
Mariel Hemingway

2023 LAPC #266 — Time

According to Merriam-Webster, time is the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues. It could also be considered a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future.

These are examples of various clocks that measure time throughout any given day.

Time is for us to live in the Present, remember the Past, and strive for a better Future. How long we take to complete a task is measured in Time. If we work for an employer, our bosses what takes to be completed efficiently and on time. For writers, you set your own expectations, goals, and schedules; you also have to adhere to deadlines set up by your publisher.

I currently do not have time restraints for the most part, however, I do have time restrictions on when and how long I may use my daughter’s vehicle. Otherwise, I do what I want, when I want, unless Coleman ( my grandson) has other ideas. Then my time is all his.

LAPC: Black & White and Monochrome

I normally try to take photos as we go hiking in our neighborhood, along the various trails and sometimes we hike more than one trail in a given day. As always my hiking buddy is my (recently turned 4) grandson, Coleman. He loves spending time outdoors especially when he gets to go hiking in the woods, along the creeks, rivers, and lakes.

On this particular day we rode the transit bus from near our home to the Avon Catawba Creeks Greenway. We hiked the Greenway seeing many amazing sights along the way. We hiked the entire 2.7 mile paved greenway. The Avon Catawba Creeks Greenway connects Lineberger Park to Ferguson Park. The Catawba Creek Greenway portion runs through wooded and open creek areas between several residential areas and junctions at the Avon Creek Greenway. Combined, the Avon and Catawba Creeks Greenway is approximately 3 miles. We ventured over onto Robinwood Road from the Greenway and on down to the Gaston County Warlick Family YMCA to continue hiking some more after a bit of a rest and a snack while overlooking Robinwood Lake.
