"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.

Live in serenity and joy. ~Buddha |
"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 |
