@Baltimore_MD_ I love that author and your insight about it. ??
“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.” — Alice Walker
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting on death row You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton (The Guns of Brixton by The Clash)
“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” — Aristotle
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.“
"I am that prodigal son who wasted all the portion entrusted to me by my father. But I have not yet fallen at my father's knees. I have not yet begun to put away from me the enticements of my former riotous living" St. Jerome
"The pattern of the prodigal is: rebellion, ruin, repentance, reconciliation, restoration" Edwin Louis Cole
@MissAdventurous This Gaia post is the best thing I've read all day. ?
Was watching Netflix and came across this one today which I really like. Screenshot from the last episode of Shadow of Truth, an Israeli docuseries outlining the murder case of 13-year-old Tair Rada in 2006.
“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
― Blaise Pascal
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. ????
