"the act of submergence"
The Art Of Drowning Billy Collins
I wonder how it all got started, this business about seeing your life flash before your eyes while you drown, as if panic, or the act of submergence, could startle time into such compression, crushing decades in the vice of your desperate, final seconds. After falling off a steamship or being swept away in a rush of floodwaters, wouldn't you hope for a more leisurely review, an invisible hand turning the pages of an album of photographs- you up on a pony or blowing out candles in a conic hat. How about a short animated film, a slide presentation? Your life expressed in an essay, or in one model photograph? Wouldn't any form be better than this sudden flash? Your whole existence going off in your face in an eyebrow-singeing explosion of biography- nothing like the three large volumes you envisioned. Survivors would have us believe in a brilliance here, some bolt of truth forking across the water, an ultimate Light before all the lights go out, dawning on you with all its megalithic tonnage. But if something does flash before your eyes as you go under, it will probably be a fish, a quick blur of curved silver darting away, having nothing to do with your life or your death. The tide will take you, or the lake will accept it all as you sink toward the weedy disarray of the bottom, leaving behind what you have already forgotten, the surface, now overrun with the high travel of clouds. |
"Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will." ~ Dr. Robert Anthony

Have patience with everything unresolved in Your heart & try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given You now, because You would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, You will gradually, without even noticing it, live Your way into the answer. ~Rainer Maria Rilke |
Spirit has fifty times the strength and staying~power of brawn and muscle.

"No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it." Andrew Carnegie

"Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow." - Dorothy Thompson |
"I think that taking life seriously means something such as this: that whatever man does on this planet has to be done in the lived truth of the terror of creation, of the grotesque, of the rumble of panic underneath everything. Otherwise it is false. Whatever is achieved must be achieved with the full exercise of passion, of vision, of pain, of fear, and of sorrow. How do we know ... that our part of the meaning of the universe might not be a rhythm in sorrow?" - Ernest Becker |
"One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world." - Hannah Senesh |
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." ~ Albert Einstein

The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.

"To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others." -Tony Robbins |
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding." - Kahlil Gibran |
"Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness." - Jim Rohn |
By becoming a conscious choice-maker, you begin to generate actions that are evolutionary for you and for those that are around you. And that’s all you need to do. ~ Deepak Chopra

“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.” - Chuck Palahniuk |
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman |
"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing." - Unknown |

We each create our world by what we choose to notice, creating a world of distinction that makes sense to us. We then 'see' the world through the self we have created. ~ Margaret Wheatley and Kellner Rogers

I love this woman!!!
I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not--more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.
~Beverly Sills, opera Diva |

I pray that we may at all times keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma; that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings and our connectedness with the natural world. ~ Jane Goodall

“We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.”
Marianne Williamson |
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.
Anne Lamott |
Sometimes Thou may'st walk in Groves,
which being full of Majestie will much advance the Soul. - Thomas Vaughan, Anima Magica Abscondita Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me? - Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do. - Willa Cather (1873-1947), O Pioneers 1913 And see the peaceful trees extend their myriad leaves in leisured dance— they bear the weight of sky and cloud upon the fountain of their veins. - Kathleen Raine, Envoi Alone with myself The trees bend to caress me The shade hugs my heart - Candy Polgar :bringcoffee: |
Don't take life so seriously,

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
