Journey On

"What a Joy, to travel the way of the HEART."

- Rumi

Let's get inside it...

Life is a rollercoaster,
Just gotta ride it...

In Good Faith

Believe in the Magic

Remarkable!

The spirit just uncontrollably wells up with reverence for the power in human virtue. This movie is a brilliant portrayal.

Thoughts that transcend time...

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle it in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "couldn't be done," and you'll do it.

-Edgar Albert Guest

...movement through his thought towards a conclusion...

Got a problem? Here's a solution.

It's exam week at the University and so the Student Union's offering free coffee and fruits. I went yesterday in the evening to get myself some coffee. While I was there, another guy (a really big guy) came along to get a fruit - he picked up an apple. Also at the coffee and fruit counter was a student volunteer who was making sure that everything was okay. So this big guy asked the volunteer for a knife to cut the apple. The volunteer didn't have a knife, so he suggested going to the cafe upstairs and asking them. The guy thought for a little while and then really surprised us with what he did next. He placed the apple on the table and said, "I hope you don't mind if I try to crack it open with my fist." ahahahahahaha.... The volunteer was like, "Ummm....Sure, why not! Is it even possible?" Then the big guy did the unimaginable. He started pounding on the apple with his fist. It felt as if the whole earth was shaking. Well, after several big bangs, he didn't crack it open but he did smash the surface of the apple in a way that a little part of the skin just fell off. Then he bit into it. "I have braces," he said, "and am afraid of the apple's skin getting stuck in them." He sure figured out a unique way to solve his problem. Believe me, had he placed the apple on the floor -- the way he was pounding -- he sure would've cracked it into four beautiful pieces.

Moral of the story: Impossible is Nothing!

Reason

Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.

 

Make sentence with...

"Try to be like a duck, with its joyful body paddling along in the loving water of the river. Just enjoy that" -that delight in buoyancy. There's a kind of happy ease.

Who is he?

"Are you beloved by millions and millions of children across the world?"

To have lived the life that responds with a yes to that question. How amazing!

 Stay light-footed
and keep moving.....

~Rumi

Be strong

Lonely
The path you have chosen
A restless road
No turning back
One day you
Will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go
Be strong

Chorus

Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you

Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you can not do
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you.

I found the image on a friend's Facebook page. It really hit home for me, so much so that it's inspiring ideas for my next tattoo. Will see how this shapes up. :-)
