Edgar Cayce Quote on “Ugly Ducklings”

Here is the inspirational quotation from Edgar Cayce that accompanied yesterday’s blog post nature photograph of swans. This Cayce quote appeared in the 2009 Edgar Cayce Calendar for the month of September:

“And what a wonderful characteristic, – to see the beauty even in that which in the eyes of others would be ugly! That which is the Lord’s, and the fullness of the earth is His, has its beauty – if it is sought.”

Edgar Cayce Reading 2787-1

In yesterday’s photograph of the swans, the two “ugly ducklings” or immature swans are the two large gray goose-like waterfowl to the right and in front of the beautiful white mature swan.

Edgar Cayce on Bringing on an Awakening

Inspiration and Rejuvenation in Nature

Today, in the midst of a busy day, I took the time to rest outside on a lawn chair and watch the breeze float through the leaves overhead. I felt happy in that half hour or so, when the heat of the day gave way to the approaching evening, and I was reminded of the Edgar Cayce quote from his trance reading 3374-1:

“. . . keep close to all of those things that have to do with outdoor activities, for it is the best way to keep yourself young-to stay close to nature. . .”

I felt delightfully rejuvenated.

Inspirational Food Quote from George Santayana

Here’s another delightful inspirational quote from the menu of the Japanese restaurant. It’s by George Santayana, an American philosopher and poet. He was born Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás on December 16, 1863 in Avila, Spain, and died in the U.S. in 1950 at the age of 88.

“There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves.”

I find this quote less amusing that yesterday’s George Bernard Shaw quote and more thought provoking.

Inspirational Food Quote from George Bernard Shaw

While having lunch at a great Japanese restaurant with friends and family, I was delighted and amused to discover this great inspirational quote from the English playwrite George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) on their menu:

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food”

As we savored sushi and terriyaki, I had to agree!
