There is stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others.

My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

I must say a word about fear.  It

is life's only true opponent. 

Only fear can defeat life.  It is a

clever, treacherous adversary,

how well I know.  It has no

decency, respects no law or

convention, shows no mercy.  It

goes for your weakest spot,

which it finds with unnerving

ease.  It begins in your mind,

always...so you must fight

hard to express it.  You must

fight hard to shine the light of

words upon it.  Because if you

don't, if your fear becomes a

wordless darkness that you

avoid, perhaps even manage to

forget, you open yourself to

further attacks of fear because

you never truly fought the

opponent who defeated you.

- Yann Martel, Life of Pi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fear's Amazing Statistics*:

 

40% of what you worry about will never happen

30% of what you worry about or fear are things that happened in the past and can't be changed

10% of what we worry about are considered by most to be insignificant issues

12% of what we worry about are issues about our health that will not happen

This means that 92% of what we fear or worry about will never take place

Thank you, Mr. Anderson.  You always bring the daring to this thread.

 

Here are a few fun facts about the amazing Steve McQueen:

 

In the film Le Mans, Steve McQueen, himself a championship racer, did most of his own

driving on the harrowing 8.5 mile Le Mans course - often at speeds exceeding 200 mph.

 

He was voted the most iconic biker of all time in February 2007.

 

He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.

 

He was a stunt man, pilot, race car driver and motor cycle enthusiast.

This is worth keeping. I've printed it and hung it near my bed.

 

Thanks for sharing

along the brittle treacherous bright streets

 

of memory comes my heart singing like

an idiot whispering like drunken man

 

who(at a certain corner suddenly)meets

the tall policeman of my mind

Hi Ins  As you know, Im a huge fan of EE Cummings. Thanks! And here's a quote:

 

“I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.”

― E.E. Cummings

Hi, Ingrid

I love the quote you have shared, and I also like your avatar !! 

Hope all is going well?

Hugs

 

 

Here's more from e.e.

 

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

Make the most of your regrets;

never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes

to have a separate and integral interest.  To regret deeply is to

live afresh.

To regret deeply is to live afreshed...

I never thought of it that way. Thanks for posting this.

I also love the picture with it.

To me, She seems to want to hide but by covering her face, she doesn't. If that makes sense.

It's also painted in a way that it looks like he arm is an extension of her face... Like her expression is al out coming thought her arm.

 

Hope you're doing ok as can be, Insom

Moo,

Thanks so much for your post.

The painting and quote captured yesterday's mood. 

Sending you a hug, my friend.

Thank you, for being part of this thread.

 

 

 

I will wade out

till my thighs are steeped in

burning flowers

and leap into the ripe air

 

Alive

with closed eyes

to dash against darkness

in the sleeping curves

of my body

- e.e. cummings

CD,

Enjoy your time on the water this weekend and hope you quickly regain your energy/strength.

I might spend some time away over the next 3-4 days ~  but I know there will be a lot of traffic

with many on holiday.  We'll see.

Hugs, my friend.

The Invitation

 

By Oriah Mountain Dreamer

 

 

It doesn't interest me

what you do for a living.

I want to know

what you ache for

and if you dare to dream

of meeting your heart's longing.

 

It doesn't interest me

how old you are.

I want to know

if you will risk

looking like a fool

for love

for your dream

for the adventure of being alive.

 

It doesnt interest me

what planets are

squaring your moon...

I want to know

if you have touched

the centre of your own sorrow

if have been opened

by life's betrayals

or have become shrivelled and closed

from fear of further pain.

 

I want to know

if you can sit with pain

mine or your own

without moving to hide it

or fade it

or fix it.

 

I want to know

if you can be with joy

mine or your own

if you can dance with wildness

and let the ecstasy fill you

to the tips of your fingers and toes

without cautioning us

to be careful

to be realistic

to remember the limitations

of being human.

 

It doesn't interest me

if the story you are telling me

is true.

I want to know if you can

disappoint another

to be true to yourself.

If you can bear

the accusation of betrayal

and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless

and therefore trustworthy.

 

I want to know if you can see Beauty

even when it is not pretty

every day.

And if you can source your own life

from its presence.

 

I want to know

if you can live with failure

yours and mine

and still stand at the edge of the lake

and shout to the silver of the full moon,

"Yes."

 

 

It doesn't interest me

to know where you live

or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up

after the night of grief and despair

weary and bruised to the bone

and do what needs to be done

to feed the children.

 

 

It doesn't interest me

who you know

or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand

in the centre of the fire

with me

and not shrink back.

 

 

It doesn't interest me

where or what or with whom

you have studied.

I want to know

what sustains you

from the inside

when all else falls away.

 

 

I want to know

if you can be alone

with yourself

and if you truly like

the company you keep

in the empty moments.

Hi everyone!  I found a long forgotten huge box of photographs from my son's first few years of life. I had put it aside and assured myself I'd have plenty of time to put them in albums once he started kindergarten....well, wow, time has passed quickly and he's way done with kindergarten. And there sits the box of photos, untouched.  Soooo much time now for things like that, yet I only want to swing in the hammock, staring up into the trees and the heavens.

[[Te...]]

BRING ON THE HAMMOCK!!! The memories pictures evoke are there already...we just have to find them...if you are blessed with so many memories that you can't bring them all to front, you have had a fulfilling life...enjoy the ones that surface while you swing in your hammock and stare skyward...

I went thru a 75 pound suitcase full of photos last summer(there is another yet to drag out), and I thought I would put to the side the special ones...and I did...and the suitcase still weighs 75 pounds.

Hi Iggmeister....

You're getting there..

 

Yup, he has been out of kindergarten for a while, huh? It's bittersweet to see the pictures of when they were still so little, I think...

Wish I could join you hammocking away.. But no rocking for me, please. Vertigo is still my companion after all these months.

 

I like the second quote , especially. It's just learning a new way for me of looking at things and these quotes give me lots to think about. What do I want to see today.

 

Good seeing you 

Enjoy your hike this weekend ( I'm assuming )

Moo
