Serious Catch-up Part 3

2nd October:

"Shadow"

Sunshine

When I was little, I used to cry when my family sang the song "You Are My Sunshine." I cried because I thought the song was about someone trying to take my sister away. I'm sure it wasn't easy being the "2nd mom" in the house, but I've watched my sister all my life, and I am more proud of her than I can even say!


"You make me happy when skies are gray."
- You Are My Sunshine

3rd October:

Danger for breakfast.

One minute you're a slug and the next minute you're a hero, so you don't know what to think.
-Ed Belfour

4th October

El Gato Monstro

Lord Arthur Goring: Gertrude, it is not the perfect, but rather the imperfect who have need of love.
Gertrude: You seem to know a great deal about it all of a sudden.
Lord Arthur Goring: Oh, I hope not. All I know, Gertrude, is that it takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love. Gertrude, you have more courage than any woman I have ever known. Do not be afraid now to use it.

Reflection

"I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass,
how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed,
how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with you one wild and precious life?"
-Mary Oliver

October 1st:

Bat Babies

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." -1st John 4:4

Part One of Serious Catch-Up

So my camera has been out of commission. But I'll see what I can do to catch myself up. I reserve the right to post any picture for any week, as I am not sure I'm interested in getting it all into chronological order.

3rd July:

Hugs

È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi,
Sento che ci salvera

-THe Prayer

The Sights

"I dare you to move. I dare you to lift yourself off of the floor. I dare you to move like today never happened before." - Switchfoot

1st August:

Durd

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.

-The Muppet Movie

2nd August:

Close-ups

"Light up, light up, as if you have a choice. Even if you cannot hear my voice,
I'll be right beside you, dear." -Snow Patrol, Run

2nd July

This picture. Awesome.


Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.
-J.R.R. Tolkien
