As We Advance in Life...


Rembrandt van Rijn

 "As we advance in life, 
frictions and denying force become more persistent. 
In this struggle the strength of the heart is developed"  
 ~U

Making an Effort to Observe...



"Making an effort to observe our mechanicality impartially, 
we benefit from our experiences when we do not buffer
 what they reveal to us about our weaknesses."

We Cannot Solve...


We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking 
we used when we created them.

Really it is in Seeing the Whole...

Theo van Doesburg

Really it is in seeing the whole, 
not the pieces, that my heart can really sing ... 
with fully orchestrated harmony, 
allowing for the quirky twists and turns that must come ... 
in the development of the composition of a life.

I Love Those Who Can Smile in Trouble...



"I love those who can smile in trouble, 
who can gather strength from distress, 
and grow brave by reflection. 
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, 
but they whose heart is firm, 
and whose conscience approves their conduct, 
will pursue their principles unto death."
~Leonardo da Vinci

Crucifixions…

Leonardo Da Vinci

Crucifixions… 
It will always be our mechanics that will come and bite us.
We all suffer our own recurrence.
The shock this, when met with the appropriate effort,
is the food for our awakening.

When we see it, realize it and meet it-
It’s in that moment
that we are presenting ourselves to the Gods
and accepting what is.
