I'm an ordinary gal....who likes nothing more than pimping out beautiful music, art, people, writing and photography......
"Though we travel the World
over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it within us or
we find it not."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803-1882)
"You ask why I live
alone in the mountain forest,
and I smile and am silent
until even my soul grows quiet:
it lives in the other world,
one that no one owns.
The peach trees blossom.
The water continues to flow."
Li Po
"The light of the sun & moon
illuminates the whole world,
both him who does well & him who does ill,
both him who stands high & him who stands low."
The Budda
(c.563-c.483 BCE)
"Wisdom is like a clear, cool pool -
it can be entered from any side."
Nagarjuna
(c.150-250 BCE)
"Life is about choices,
your choices.
The paths you take and the people you meet is determined by you.
You are your own Master.
Your own Maker
Your own Decider.
Others can guide and judge
They can help and hinder.
But ultimately, the buck rests with you.
The World is on your shoulders.
Is it a heavy burden or an ongoing ever evolving adventure?
Challenge yourself and others.
Question yourself and others.
But, always always believe in yourself and your ability.
I can
and I will....."
