My blog friend Alexa hosts a link-up each month that she calls "Simply a Moment."
This month I thought I'd share a photo of something that represents a moment in time.
♥
I've always loved this popular photo, taken by Albert Eisenstaedt of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square back in 1945. I think it's such an evocative photo, and it freezes that passionate moment in time.
While Doug and I were in San Diego last weekend we met family for dinner at a restaurant down by this dock, and I was delighted when I saw this huge sculpture depicting that wonderful photo. That moment in time, frozen forever, that speaks volumes of relief, joy and passion. And the sun setting behind it in that moment? It was just spectacular.
And now for my quote:
Unconditional Surrender, San Diego, California
“Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.”
