Three deep thoughts

Deep as the sea, deep as the mind.

Thank you to Leya from To See a World in a Grain of Sand… for thinking of me on Day 1 of her 3 Day Quote Challenge. Her first is by Gandhi and includes this sentence: We need not wait to see what others do. ❤

I shall not nominate anyone – or better, I nominate all who wish to do it – and I’m posting all three quotations today. Better safe than sorry, who knows what happens tomorrow.

There is a Portuguese theme in my quotations – if not in photos, since I haven’t been to Portugal yet – and that’s not a coincidence. Next week the Eurovision Song Contest is taking place there.

So first here is this year’s Slovenian contestant Lea Sirk. I love her as a person, she is the coolest. When she returned home to her two daughters after the Slovenian finale, one of them asked her indignantly why she had won and not another girl that they preferred. 😀

As for the song she is singing this year, it’s not my cuppa and its title is Hvala, ne. /Thank you, no./ Here she is with her version of last year’s winning song for Portugal.

And now to some truths and their illustrations. Be well.
