Wordless Wednesday, The Sun Also Rises

These wild daisy-like flowers seem to shower Lilly with adoration. In truth, they lean toward the morning sun … which from this vantage point is behind where Lilly sits.

I’ve never read Hemmingway’s first novel — The Sun Also Rises, but I found these quotes which seem so appropriate for our lives:

• “I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.”
•  “You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”

I had to laugh when one site described the book as being “novel of disillusionment.”

Who isn’t disillusioned once in a while,? I ask. But, like these flowers, like our amazing canine heroine … we keep going for love and companionship.
