“You cannot defeat darkness by running from it, nor can you conquer your inner demons by hiding them from the world. In order to defeat the darkness, you must bring it into the light.”

"I'm tired..." She said, sliding down on the ground, hovering over to rest, her hair cascading down over her face.
A wet nose poked her forehead till she felt warm furs caressing her chest. Her arms wrapped around tight, face pressing into the softness and comfort. A sigh of relief escaped her lips.
"What benefit does fighting bring you anyway?" The lone one asked.
She took a moment to think of that question. "Validation? Answers? Truths?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Justice..." she whispered.
"And when you win, is it worth it?"
"Sometimes..." she admitted. "Other times I just accept...defeat."
[16:37] Zack Kaul: HI :) your one picture called defeat made me think of a poem by that name www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE8taOWjVbc
P.S. Really loved the poem Zack shared so I'm sharing it too!
These horse carriages are seldom seen in Bangladesh now a days. They failed to compete with their faster and cheaper to run cousins powered by automotive engines.
Remember those gourds and pumpkins I was drying out to use as bird houses this spring? Well the squirrels decided they would better serve as fall food! The large pumpkin was totally gutted! They destroyed 3 pumpkins and 5 gourds. Next year I'll dry them (the gourds not the squirrels) in the basement!

I'm rarely defeated on the hill as I study the forecast meticulously the night before. I knew the wind would be fairly strong but was not prepared for the gusts. When I got knocked over by the wind I knew it was time to give up not least because I had some scrambling ahead and another 300m of ascent to go.
BTW this is Garbh-bheinn and I'm on Druim Eadar Da Coire. I've already climbed the hill from the other side but will make this attempt again on a better day. I also had some trouble crossing burns - and the lower moorland was one big bog. Not the most pleasant of days out!
Think you could go a few rounds with me?

The monument commemorates Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig, a crucial step towards the end of hostilities in the War of the Sixth Coalition. The coalition armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden were led by Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg. On the first story, a crypt is adorned by eight large statues of fallen warriors, each one next to smaller statues called the Totenwächter (Guardians of the Dead). On the second story, the Ruhmeshalle (Hall of Fame) features four statues, each 9.5 metres (31 ft) tall, representing the four legendary historic qualities ascribed to the German people: bravery, faith, sacrifice, and fertility.

The banana palm has taken a real battering this summer. It has enjoyed the rain very much but NOT the strong winds, which have torn it to shreds. Intriguingly, the torn sections are all a similar width following the leaf vein structure of the fronds.

"Suddenly this defeat.
This rain.
The blues gone gray
And the browns gone gray
And yellow
A terrible amber..."

Caught in a web it was running out of energy fast. The breeze was moving it more than it had strength to do. Soon the clever spider living over our back door would come ...
