everything sparkles
drinking the fresh taste of love
the world slips away
Kim M. Russell, 2017
My response to Carpe Diem #1320 Falling in Love
Today’s quote is taken from Paulo Coelho’s novel Eleven Minutes:
“When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.” (Source: Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho)

It’s amazing we were inspired by the same painting ! There are two different manners to see the same image.
